Desperately seeking Percy

[duport]

After a long interval following other lines, I have returned to the problem of Percy. I wonder if anyone would be able to look in the trade directories for Glasgow and Edinburgh for the year 1912, for picture frame makers. This was Percy's profession. If he really did run off to Scotland, I'd look for him in the largest centres of population first.

Percy's place of birth (on 2 Feb. 1879) was indeed Battersea.

From his baptism record
Percy Amidie BREWER dob 28th February 1879 - have you tried using his dob on the 1939 register?

Have you checked the London Electoral Register?

Thanks, Forfarian. I didn't know about them. I'll take a look.
