Title: COMPLETED;George C Moffat, Dumfries
Post by: cupcake on Friday 29 January 10 15:44 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find information on George Campbell Moffat. George was born Dumfries in 1926.

His parents were William & Christina Moffat. He appeared to be in Dumfries up to 1970. Information from valuation Roll.

Unable to find out if he married.

Hi,

I have done this, but there are no marriages for George.

Is the valuation roll the same as an electoral roll?  I'm not familiar with Scottish terminology

If it is - won't the full entry show other residents at that address who were over 21yrs old

Think it was the Electrol Roll and only shows the owner of the house, name.

It appears he stayed at this address after his father died in 1961 until 1970.

Thank you .

Hi ack,


Would explain why I couldn't find him on Scotlands People. The age at death fits in, as he was born 1926.

Getting his marriage certificate would confirm his parents.

Thank you for this.

Hi

English marriage certs only show fathers name and occupation

Thank you.

Hello - George was my great uncle (my father's mother's brother).  Would you like information on him from me?  I was with him when he died and I rented a flat  from him in his house in London, and I knew him very well.  Kind regards.

Oooh, how exciting - a distant relative!  There aren't many people left on my dad's side of the family that I know of!  I will send you a PM this evening.

I have written of Reginald Tupper Carnegie in connection with his prewar flying. Do you know anything of his wartime service (if any) and date of death.

My grandad Reginald Tupper Carnegie died on 7th December 1972 of cirrhosis of the liver but I know nothing of his flying I'm afraid :-(
