Hi,
I'm doing family research and I'm stuck at E Martin.
Can anyone help please?
The only info I have is - Mother, Mary Herd.
E Martin born 1940's in Scotland and I am told he has already passed away.
Thanks :-).

Hi there is a marriage of a Mary Herd in 1942 to a Martin at Carnoock Fife and 2 births for Eric Martin b 1946 both in Perthshire
You will be able to download and view the marriage and order the birth from Scotlands People
-
I note the two births, which are the only ones in Scotland but I do not see a suitable death in Scotland or elsewhere in Great Britain?

Rootschat has a no living persons policy so what evidence do you have that this person has died?
-
What is the last record you have on this person presuming he has died ? .The marriage found by Wendy on Scotlandspeople gives names as Mary Herd and Eric Walter W Martin 1942 ...Can't see a death for a Eric Walter W Martin in Scotland ,but there is a possible death for a Eric Walter W Martin birth 9 /6/1923 died June 1981 Portsmouth Hampshire
There is also 2 males BMD in Hampshire with mother's maiden name Herd /Heard
Might be better to get a copy of the marriage to see what information is on it

One of the Eric Martins born in 1946 was a football player

who played 248 Football League games for Southampton between 1967 and 1975.
He also played both outdoor and indoors in the North American Soccer League for

It could be two records of the same birth rather than two different Eric Martins.

Hi,
I think the mothers surname was herd? Eric was a footballer. I was told he passed away?

Sorry, I've no idea.
According to the link he is/was working in America.

I'm doing family research and I'm stuck at Eric Martin.
No evidence online to support a death and if you use Google you will find last known whereabouts were Washington USA

He has a Facebook page so this person could still be living ...his parents marriage will help with your family research on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
