Title: Help to identify informant of George Moore's death cert 1978
Post by: daljul on Friday 21 March 25 07:59 GMT (UK)
Can anyone identify this signature on the death certificate of George Moore. It is shown as his son.

Since you said the family name is MOORE I can just make that out. Looks like his signature is an initial followed by MOORE, Maybe "M"? very difficult as very stylised. I'll be interested to see what others think.

George was age 76. He married Helen Daly Lang Wright 20 Mar 1923 in Glasgow. The had children Helen born 1923 died 2007 and a son Jack born 1925 died 1931 that I know of. I am trying to find out about this other son who registered his father's death

Scotlands people does not appear to show the death of a George Moore aged 76 in 1978, There is 1 aged 79 with mothers maiden name Clark, was this his mothers maiden name.

Sorry to ask more question's

Did the nephew George Clark Moore (1931-88) live with George & Helen, and if not who were HIS parents.

Were George and Helen living at 19 Bogany Terrace Cathcart in 1960-62

Was 47 Pinkerton Avenue the death address of George or that of the informant.

Who was the informant when Helen Daly Moore died in 1991.

Yes George and Helen were at 19 Bogany Terrace 1960 to 62.
47 Pinkerton Terrace was the address of the informant
The informant at Helen's death in 1991 was her grandson William Shaw the son of her and George's daughter Helen.

Ok, who were G C Moores parents. What I find strange is that George Clark Moore marries in 1960 and in 1961/2 is living with George & Helen.

Do not think I can help much more, what I find very very strange is why when George Clark Moore died in 1988 his mother's maiden name was WRIGHT not Stewart and the fact he appears from the age of 21 onwards is always living with George and Helen and even after marriage.

You may wish to see who was living in 1978 electoral register at Pinkerton Avenue.
