Hi all

I am used to tracing trees backwards but this time am looking forwards a bit and can't find any info apart from birth and death on this man. can anyone give me a clue as to where to start ? Born Sussex died Carmarthen

His birth reg is actually 1926
Births Sep 1/4 1926   
Geoffrey C  Burt, mother maiden name Carey, reg dist.  E. Preston,  vol 2b page 493 

There are a few marriages for a Geoffrey Burt in England and Wales (none with the middle initial C) but none to distinguish your Geoffrey C.

I googled his name and Heir Hound are wanting to find his heirs.

There are a number of trees on ancestry with Annie Carey and her marriage to Geoffrey's dad on them but no children recorded. I think they may be actually following the Carey line not the Burt line.

So we know where he came from but not whether he married and had children. Following the lines of his siblings may or may not give you the info you are wanting.

thank you, I had found the marriage and siblings, but can find no marriage or any other info, will have to work  back from death certificate. Shame there is no census info.

Thanks for the help.

Hello!

Your Fredrick L   sounds likes he's the brother of my Thomas Henry Burt  (1884-1967).  They would be brothers about 10 years apart if memory serves, born Marylebone to Charles BURT and his wife Sophia (nee HALL).  That would make my mother the cousin of your Geoffrey.   Please if you get this message do write me back.

Hi Jennifer

I was researching this man as there is unclaimed money left after his death you may be able to claim it if you are the nearest living relative.

You need to look up Bona Vacantia and find out how to claim

Sandra,

I hope you can find his children, or neices and nephews. 

As far as I know none of my grandfather's family followed him to Canada.
