Thread: Help Needed in Tracing William Wilson Brodie

Hi.

I know this maybe a long shot but if any member can help me trace William Wilson Brodie that would be great. I don't have a date of birth to go on, the only details I have was that his partners name was Sarah Phillips, they had one son born 1921 named George Wilson Brodie Phillips who was born in Calton Glasgow.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Pauline,

You have the surname of the child George as Phillips. Is this correct ? If so, do you know if the parents married as I am having no luck so far.

I think I have William Wilson Brodie born 1885 but need to work back as their are 2 possible ones.

Hi starlight, yes the child was named George Phillips. No the parents never married.

Thanks

Hi Pauline,

Welshlady is correct. Scottish death certificates give a lot more useful information than the English ones.

Hi Welsh Lady and Starlight. I am sorry for the delay in replying to you both. I was up at the hospital for a biopsy so I was feeling rather tired by the time I got home.
Thankyou for your replies, I guess I'll have to buy the certificate or talk nicely to the Scottish GRO and hope for some info,

Hi Pauline,

I hope you are feeling a bit better by time you read this. You may not need to buy the certificate if you have any idea where and when he died.

Hi Starlight,

Thanks, I'm feeling a little better, Just waiting for results next week now.

Unfortunately I don't know where or when he died

Hi Pauline,

This looks as though it may be the death of George Wilson Brodie Phillips but you will need to purchase the death certificate as it is not available to view. The not permissible refers to the mother's surname.
