Ann - come out from under that cushion.

You were quite right - the poster IS running a genealogy service.

feel a bit of a twit now!! realised who the poster is!! hides under a cushion :-D

sure am!! :-D

Ann - are you serious? :-D

I have to ask this - with so many postings is this poster running some kind of genealogy service? because it seems they are not all the poster's relatives - is it just me?

apologies if someone else has stated, but there are three trees on here with Gregor Burgess. Perhaps Ken will look back in and decide if they are relevant.

Bother

Getting a match on Scotlandspeople in 1911 using just Gregor Burgess, with exact match on surname and forename, BUT no matches if I put in an age range

So probably not right

His Army record show that he enlisted in 1906 and was discharged in 1907.

No idea if same person

Name: Gregor Burgess
Spouse Surname: Simpson
Date of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1923
Registration district: Pancras
Inferred County: Middlesex
Volume Number: 1b
Page Number: 145

Well, I've just wasted my time trawling through service records that Ken already has! Why didn't he mention that, or is it some sort of test?!

For info, Gregor seems to have been discharges 18/11/1907.

Something about him on Rootschat here:

I cannot see Gregor on the 1911, might be reasonable to suppose he is serving with the army at the time, unless Ken knows otherwise?
