Hello, i am trying to find the records of a soldier named PATRICK GALLOGLEY. He was born in Coatbridge lanarkshire in 1902. I am searching on behalf of his daughter who is now 82 years of age. She remembers as a teenager, her father being in uniform and has had the Black Watch mentioned in the past. She is not sure, her memory is not so good. But he left when she was a teenager and never came back. he did not die in the military she is sure that he was out of the forces when he left home for good.........Where might we find any military records for him? Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi
If he was still in the Army after 1920 his records will still be with the MOD but you generally need a death certificate to obtain them :-\

Can you give us a rough idea of the date that he left the family and where they were living at the time
ADDED Do you have his birth date
-
his daughter was born lochwood cottage gartcosh and she was born 1933.......from the electerol roles we can see that when she was a teenager the family were living in glasgow lawmoor st from 1950 through to 1960........ we dont have birthdate for father, only know he was born 1902. sorry

i wonder about that baptism as his parents were a james gollogley and mary mclaughlin, i wonder if it is him?
very similiar indeed
-
he had a sister annie who was one year old in the 1901 census and a brother andrew 3 year old......maybe it was all written differently at baptisms back then......has got me wondering
-
they are on scotlands people under the spelling of gilloghley but i dont own a credit card, so i cant acsess it..........i think what you have given above may be correct
-
Jacobi is the latinised version of James ;)

thank you

from the electerol roles we can see that when she was a teenager the family were living in glasgow lawmoor st from 1950 through to 1960
When does he disappear from these records or was he missing in 1950
-
i found he and his wife in 1939 in lochwood but then nothing again until 1950 in glasgow, so i would say missing inbetween there.......my friend is very old, i think she means she remembers him being a soldier when she was little, but when she was a teenager he left the family, this is what i am getting from her.......... i am going to ask her again and will post back to you
