McGregor
« on: Thursday 20 February 14 07:27 GMT (UK) »
Henry William James McGregor married Grace Rosetta Allery 21 July 1934, Lambeth. I am unable to find out anything about them apart from electoral registers for 1964/65 Sidcup, Bexley. I want to find out if they had any children. Grace Rosetta and her 2 sisters seem to not have any children between them, seems a bit queer.

If you use FreeBMD (www.freebmd.org.uk) and enter McGregor in the Surname field, with Allery in the Mothers Name field, and search for births, 1930-1960, just one turns up.

(I am assuming Allery was hre maiden name?)

I won't mention the name in case he is still alive.
