Durham / Re: Who Was Murray Scott of Whickham?
« on: Wednesday 19 November 25 19:26 GMT (UK)  »
Are you assuming Murray Scott was born in Whickham or do you have any proof that he was?

Isabella was b 1797 so Murray could be assumed to be born 1770 (ish) but not necessarily in Durham

If he applied for his pension in 1921 he would have been approx 76yrs old.  How was his pension paid to him?  Was it a lump sum or an ongoing payment? 

If it was an ongoing payment & the US authorities were not advised of his death  - when & why did they stop the payment?

Is there any record of him on the US censuses from 1880-1920.

Is it possible Amelia died before 1837?

The 1939 marriage entry spells the surname as PenBerthy - not PenPerthy

Births Sep 1920   
Penberthy    Alice  mmn George    Pontypridd    11a   1317

You will find the birth entry for the living person above on freebmd - mmn Regan

Parents marriage is on freebmd in 1941

The names of living persons are not allowed so you need to remove his name.  Have you researched the living person backwards from 1943 using freebmd to establish his parents names

I don't want to appear negative but a lot of that article does not "add up" & I think some assumptions
may have been made

and it had identified a George M Green who lived at 39 Belvoir Street, Princes Avenue, Hull in the 1940s who was a Civil War veteran

How had it identified him at that address?  By the 1940's he would have been approaching 100yr if born 1845?

Quote
This week he was also sent a brief record from the US Veterans Affairs Master Index, citing a George M Green, Corporal, Co. B, 15th Maine Infantry, born April 5, 1845, resident at the Sailors Home, Hull, England - but the record is undated.

Born where?  England or USA

Quote
Michael said the group had discovered that George M Green claimed a veteran’s pension from England in 1921. He had served in the 15th Maine Volunteer Infantry, and a further article in the Portland, Maine, Evening Express from May 1947 mentioned him, giving his address as Waterloo Cottage, North Marine Road, Flamborough.

You cannot claim a UK pension for American Civil War service
, as UK war pensions are for service in the British Armed Forces. For claims related to American Civil War service, you would need to contact the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and provide documentation, though this is likely not possible for someone in England with no US contact. Historically, some US veterans living in England received pensions directly from the US government.


If he served in a war from 1861-1865 - why would he only be claiming a Veterans pension in 1921?
By 1947 he would have been 102 if he was b 1845.

Good afternoon to all who can help me, in locating an old gentleman who resided in the Hull, and Flamborough area, date and occupation not known, by the name of George M Green.

He was last recorded in Hull in 1921, and unfortunately I only have two known addresses where he lived. This was 39, Belvoir Street, (Princes Ave) and the another at Waterloo Cottage, N Marine Road, Flamborough. The only known dates I have for this man, at these addresses, is between 1921 to 1947.

By 1947 he would be 102 if b 1845?

Your post makes no mention of what type of entry you found him on in 1921 so the assumption was the 1921 census.  What document did you find him on & did it show his age?

The 1921 census has 17 George Green entries in Yorkshire born 1840-1850 but none have M as a middle initial.  They are living in Hull with family & b 1842-1848 but addresses don't match
