Bermudagirl, nothing to do with who was Agnes Robertson. Have you come across this link? http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0115%2FBAM%202 Looks like a photo of George on file from 1933.

Yes I had already spotted that! Haven't applied for a copy of the photo yet, although have found out about how to apply for it.

Getting confused with my Georges here!

George Sturrock born 1/12/1880 Edinburgh. Died 7/1/1950 Richmond Surrey
George Munro Sturrock born 9/6/1912 Serebam, Malay States (presumably where his father was working). Died 19/5/1991 Stanmore Harrow
Atkin (Cambridgeshire) Duke (Angus) Gray (Sprouston) Sturrock (Fife) Starforth (Co. Durham) Bewell (Canada)

Yes, my great grandparents - George Monro Sturrock born 9/1/1849 Blairgowrie and Margaret Forbes born 16/4/1843 Kilmadock. George was the eldest of their children. My grandmother was 2nd youngest!

Does Agnes' death record mention parents names?

It's an English death entry Sancti, so there won't have been details mentioned on her parents unfortunately.

Going to be tricky finding her.

No sign of a marriage in Scotland and George is still on the 1901 census so I wonder when he emigrated

Well he was back and forward between the Far East and Great Britain a number of times (by ship obviously), but I don't know where he met Agnes. I don't have a birth record for his son or daughter either.
