His Grandparents' marriage.
Marjory's mother's death is registered in Shettleston in 1941, so looks like the whole family moved from Speymouth to Glasgow.

He died, aged 73 in 2006. His death is registered in Glasgow.

Where did he die please? Not in Scotland I assume.

Assuming he was born in Scotland, he'll be one of these two - possibly the first one, just because of the Glasgow connection. There are other George Skinners born about the same time, but they all have additional forenames.

The marriage cert will also tell you his parents' names - or at least his mother's if he was illegitimate.

Are the witnesses on the cert of any help?

Married 1960

Harriet Agnus Mitchell

stayed in Glasgow shettleston area for many years, I believe the Mum's name was skinner and George never had his Dads name.

where can I go from here as the line stops at George and cant seem to progress further in my search?
