John David mcglinchy birth name Balfour

[foxilady2828]

 At a brick wall on my grandad John David mcglinchy birth surname Balfour all I know he was born in 1906 not sure if he was born in the uk or was sent to Canada apparently on his marriage certificate he has named Kenneth mcglinchy as the father and also served in the Second World War as mcglinchy but later changed his name back to Balfour his birth surname after he married my nan in 1933 he never spoke about his family much to my my nan or his children, I'm am now beginning to think he may have been adopted or possibly sent to Canada with Barbados but can't even find a marriage or any information for Kenneth mcglinchy here or in Canada anyone got any ideas, thanks ann

Good morning there seems to be some information on Ancestry so I have sent a request to a person to see what they might have to help you out.

Will contact you when the person replies.
