Thread: Scotland Census Please

This is a long shot but hoping i can get some information, I am looking for my gr grandfather (not much to go on I'm afraid) his name his George Smith b1874/5 City of Edinburgh, Scotland his father was also called George Smith any help wld be greatly appreciated. He married my nana's mother 12yrs after she was born as her mother was still married.

Do you know anything more about your Grt Grandfather - brother's, sister's - Mum's name? - as there is more than one George Smith born around that time in Edinburgh who has father's name George - need a little more info to positively pin him down.

Hi Sharon01,



Do you have George and your nanna's marriage certificate . If so, what were the occupations of both George's. Where were they living. If you do not let me know your Nanna's name even if by pm and I'll see what I can do.

Sorry Starlight i do not know his mother's or siblings names but i have sent you pm.
