You're quite welcome. 

Unfortunately, it appears that Leslie was killed in WWII.

This article gives his next-of-kin as aunt Mrs. Agnes Woods of 1333 Hancock St.  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0x0d/  Perhaps that is the same aunt Agnes that was listed on the border crossing.

If you have an exact date of birth for George Jr., that may help us to locate him in later records.

So sad that thats where he ended but so did an awful lot of others,. his brother George Ernest Beattie is even more difficult to trace, i have him born c1908/1909 but no closer than that ... i'll keep digging and see what i can come up with,.  with your help the family is coming back together, next one is Gr.Uncle John who went to Kelloe in Co.Durham in England, he died in Kelloe 9th. January 1942 aged 68 so i have something to go on,.  a multitude of thanks to all you are helping to keep me up late most nights ....
