Dumfriesshire / Re: George Robertson Percy

If you are still looking for George Robertson Percy, I know of him and have some photographs with his family.  He does look like your uncles photo (his brother).  He remarried in 1913 to my grandfathers aunt Mary McGowan.  They did live at Aldermanhill.  He had three sons who were raised by my aunt, George, Walter and Tom.  Two brothers had a very successful electronics store in Dumfries (Percy Bros.).  The McGowans have kept in touch with the Percy's.  I know that George Jr.'s daughter-in-law still lives in Kippford.  I met Walter Percy and his second wife (Alice) in Maxwelltown in 1978 when I was visiting from Canada.

Hi,

I believe I am indirectly related to the Percy family of Dumfries.  My grandfathers aunt, Mary McGowan, was the second wife of George Robertson Percy and helped raise his three sons, Walter, George and Tom in Dumfries (they lived on Aldermanhill).  I have old photos of them.  I met an elderly Walter in 1978 on a visit from Canada.

Two sons, George and Tom, had a very successful electronics retail chain in the area.

My family is still in contact with the Percy's.  As far as I know, George's son Roy died a few years ago but his widow lives in Kippford.
