Agnes Robertson
« on: Saturday 29 January 11 13:57 GMT (UK) »
Am looking for any information regarding an Agnes Robertson, born 14/4/1884 somewhere in Scotland. She died 10/12/1969 in Ruislip, Hillingdon. She married my great uncle George Sturrock, although I don't know when. He was a Director of Public Works in the Straits Settlements in the 1930s (now Singapore & Malaysia). I cannot find either a birth or marriage record. All info comes from her death record and the informant was her son George Munro Sturrock.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Was she married previously and is Robertson her maiden name?

According to the death record, her maiden name was Robertson. The actual name entered on the certificate is Agnes Robertson Sturrock. At first I assumed Robertson was her middle name, but apparantly not...

So George would not be Agnes' son if she married in the 1930s

He may not have known if she was married previously

Oops! No! I think I misworded that in my initial post - the 1930s relates to when my great uncle was a Director of Public Works out in the Straits Settlements not when they got married. I have no idea when they got married. There does seem to have been a daughter also -  Helen Beatrice Sturrock, but I have no idea when or where she was born but according to some passenger records it might have been between 1909 and 1912 approx. (Beatrice seems to run in the family...)
Sorry about the misunderstanding!
