Help finding Agnes Scott
« on: Friday 14 November 25 02:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello. Thank you for letting me join this site.

I am trying to find the parents or a birth for Agnes Scott. She married Anthony Halliday in 1924 as Agnes Gertrude Scott at Durham.

In the 1939 Register at 50 Oak Avenue, Durham she is Agnes Isabella G Halliday, born 15 September 1904.

I believe two of her children (Lilian & Robert) were registered under the surname Weir in 1926 and 1928 respectively. Agnes died on 1 December 1956 aged 52 in Durham.

Many thanks.

Have you considered purchasing her marriage certificate to Anthony? This would give you the name and occupation of her father. With her father's name, you will be able to search for his marriage details.

Welcome to rootschat. Just as a small starter all of her children who appear in 1939 do have a mother's maiden name of Scott. Believe Agnes's birth was as below but still checking out,

If I’m looking at the right people, the oldest child has mmn Scott, the other two appear to have Weir  :-\

Looking more closely at the 1939 entry, her name was originally entered as Isabella Halliday.  Agnes G. was added later.

Thank you, I hadn’t considered the Electoral Registers.

93 Framwellgate would be right as Anthony’s family lived around there at the same time.

Anthony & Agnes’ infant daughter Lilian (the first one) also died there in April 1925.
