    Hi Sharron01,



    I have looked on Scotlands peoples and cannot find a George Smith born in Edinburgh between 1873-1877.

    Hi Sharron01,



    I have found a George Smith born Borthwick Edinburgh in 1875 on the 1901 census but it is not him. I have spread the search years further in Edinburgh but with no luck. If he was born in a parish just outside Edinburgh there are so many to find. Maybe someone else will have more luck.

    Only other thing i know Starlight is that between him getting married in 1918 and his daughter marrying in 1834 he died as he is down as deceased on her marr cert, don't know if that will be of help to you.

    Hi Sharron01,



    The problem here is that there is not census that covers 1918 yet. Even if his death was found I am not sure it would give you any more information than his father's name and that of his spouse which you already have.

    Hi Starlight i have found a 1901c with his name on (not sure if right one) he is a Lodger Civil Parish All Saints, County Borough - Newcastle upon Tyne, it is the right age and says he came from Scotland, i think it must be some kind of boarding house as their is a lot of ppl living there all different occupations but cannot be sure that this is my George Smith

    Hi Sharron01,



    I also saw that one but cannot find any proof that he could be the same person. If it is him, it still doesn't help with your original question about his father and siblings. Have you tried looking for him on the 1891 England census. If we can get the names of any siblings or parish of Birth it might help to find his birth. At the moment there are far too many possible ones born near Edinburgh but for some reason not registered in Edinburgh City itself. If only the name wasn't Smith. At first I thought it would be easy as not like any of the Scottish names I have in my own tree.

    Hi Starlight have tried looking on 1891c but cannot see anything, i think i will have to try and see when he died and get death cert that might tell me a little more information but i am not sure, will go to library and look at parish records. Thank you for your help.
