Thank you everyone for taking the time to help me.

I have been working so not had the chance to get back to everyone.

I will take a look at the information you have provided for me.

Thanks

Hi Forfarian

I never noticed the OW.  Baffling

On the 1911 census he is a bricklayer (worker) but no mention of who he worked for.

Just for interest.

If I have attached the photo correctly my Grt Grandfather is in the center and my Grandfather is the little guy on the end. He went on to be a Stone Mason.

That looks very promising

I will take a better look later when I have more time. (My tea is burning) :)

Thank you

Hi
I found my grt Grandfather on the 1921 census (Goven, Glasgow)

Would anyone know the name of the forest (I can't make out the name) it is listed under employment. Is it the name of the people he worked for or an area?

Thanks

Thank you Scotmum
I did search for the 39 Dord regiment and it took me to the Dorset Regiment, but i wasn't sure.

Thank you Queenie

You have been a great help. I can now rule out the George in the Royal Marines now.
 
Thank you so much for the certificate I am so excited now.

I need to pack up and eat (no chance now)

Thank you both again.

Armed Forces / Is he my 2x Grt Grandfather

Hi
I am not sure I have asked about this topic in the past. It will be awhile ago so I have lost track. I apologize if I have.

My Grt Grandfather George Norman was born in west Bengal India in 1880. (there may be 3 children in total born in India) George's occupation was a deckhand in the Navy, he died in Ireland falling from a train in 1915.

Birth details
Name   George Norman
Gender   Male
Birth Date   29 Nov 1880
Baptism Date   15 Dec 1880
Baptism Age   0
Baptism Place   Bengal, India
Father   George Norman
Mother   Bridget


I found George along with his father on the 1911 Irish census.

On the census the Father was a widow (wife Bridget Mullin) aged 65, born Gravesend England, retired from the 39 Dord Regiment.

I found a George Norman on the 1871 Census based at the Royal Marine Barracks Gillingham, Kent.

I am trying to see if I can find a link.

Would either Royal Marines or the 39 Dord Regiment have been in India around 1880.

Thanks.

Thanks again.

Hi thanks everyone

Ladyhawk
No I have not been able to find them on census records. There was a possible one in Kent but not sure if its them. I will have another look.

Thanks again
