The most recent reply I can see is #14 above (by cath151 about Annie's birth date) and yet my email updates say there are more replies (??) and when I do a google search I come up with a reply that I can't see either.  I'm so confused :(

That would be George Senior's marriage record!  Duh! Sorry :(  And I bet that Annie Atkinson, witness, would be Esther's sister :)  Neat

Oh, I never even thought of that.  I'd be happy for forward or back - but yes, it would be nice to find living relatives of his.  At the very least I'd like to know what became of him after he and Mary divorced. She went on to remarry a Raymond Harvey and had my mom's half-sister, then divorced yet again and remarried a George Bacon - then they left England and came here, my mom met and married my dad and had me - within a year!  I'd love to find out what happened to her first husband - as he was my grandfather after all, but I can't find a thing :(

I have that info. so far (I'm sorry, I should have said!) but I can't find ANYTHING on Annie - if she married, did she have children... nothing. Nor can I figure out if my father (George Scott jr) remarried after my grandmother (Mary Burton). She thinks he went to Egypt (and I agree - I found one of his dad's wife's relatives had gone there during the war and there was a comment in someone's public family tree on ancestry.com that said that they saw George jr IN Egypt when they were stationed there.  But beyond that, I got nuthin' :(

Thanks so much!
His parents were George Scott 1889-1964 and Esther Atkinson 1895-?  They were married in 1915 in Yorkshire West Riding, England.  I have more information but I'm not sure whether it's a help or hindrance to list it.

I landed here when I did a Google search for one of my relatives.  HELP!  I have NO idea what I'm doing or how to do it :(  BUT this looks like a great tool, especially since my ancestors are from Ireland and England - my maternal family having come here to Canada only a year prior to my birth!  I just don't know how to use the site :(
I am at a loss with my maternal grandfather, George Scott, born 1918 in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, England.  He and my grandmother divorced after they had my mom, Carol, and no one heard from him afterwards. :(  I have had someone help me find his parents - based on the address that my grandfather listed on his and my grandmother's marriage certificate - but even that has been a dead end.  I sure could use some help! :)
Thanks!
