Scotland's People index for George Blees Boardman's death gives mother's maiden name as Blees. Since he was 82 years old the informant may not have provided accurate information.

If George married- does the marriage list his father's name and occupation?

From Probate book-
1948. BOARDMAN Walter of 47 Elmwood- road Chiswick London W.4 died 23 March 1948 Administration London 17 April to Dagmar Elizabeth Boardman widow. Effects £837 17s 1d.

No subscription needed- I viewed it on Family Search which is free (to which I posted link earlier).

Hello everyone, I have found marriage certificates married twice) For Hugh Robinson, the father of Hamilton Robinson, who died in Cookstown in 1889 aged 89, but I cannot find a birth certificate for Hamilton Robinson (born in the 1850s) or Hugh Robinson (born in the 1800) after much searching. Does anyone have any leads on birth certificates for Hamilton or Hugh Robinson? I'm stuck.

Civil registration of births didn't start until 1864 so you won't find ones before that date. Pre-1864 you need to search for baptismal records but remember not all survive and of those that do not all are online.
