Annie Hogg

[kathleenmitchell]

Hi,
I’m looking for a friend.  Annie Hogg had a illegitimate baby girl Annie McIntosh Hogg in Edinburgh on 11 Nov 1908.  Annie Mc was always told that her father died at the battle of Jutland and his surname was Hogg.
 
There is a prayer book  and it says Christmas 1927, 2 Grove place Edinburgh.

Annie snr married an Ernest Wilson, they had a son William who won the Military Medal in WW2.

At sometime they are living in the Midlands.

I cannot find any trace of Annie Mc father as he is not on the birth certificate, and Jutland was a few years after she was born.

Any help would be fab.
Thanks
Kathy

Two things you may find helpful here  -

1. Often an illegitimate child's middle name is a clue to the father's surname.
2. Have you or your friend looked at the Birth Certificate on ScotlandsPeople? Sometimes there is an RCE (Register of Corrected entries) if the mother took the father to court.

This is how I found my friend's grandfathers name.

Hope you find something useful.

The Battle of Jutland took place on 31 May to 1 June 1916. I looked in https://www.cwgc.org/ for deaths of men surnamed McIntosh on 31 May to 1 June 1916. There were no deaths of men surnamed Hogg on either of these dates.

However there are two surnamed McIntosh:

Leading Seaman McINTOSH, ALEXANDER STUART
Service Number 229006
Died 31/05/1916
Aged 29
HMS "Invincible"
Royal Navy
Son of Peter and Annie McIntosh, of 4, Middle Arthur Place, Edinburgh

Stoker McINTOSH, DAVID
Service Number 1759U
Died 31/05/1916
HMS "Invincible"
Royal Naval Reserve
No indication of who his parents were

So if Annie Jr's middle name is significant, her father could have been one of those.
