I have found another son. Hugh Sinclair had 4 sons. Hugh, John, William and Thomas. I think this is Hugh on the 1911 Census. Hugh Sinclair age 32 tinsmith married for 5 years to Emily age 31 from Benton Newcastle. Dora Emily age 3 and Margaret Christina age 1. I think the Christina was the name of Hugh's Grandmother Christina Munro. 8 Delavel Terrace South Benwell Newcastle

Thank you Kay but I already have this one. The maiden name is Garavan. sometimes its put as Garvan and Garvie but its Garavan as I have her parents as well. I seem to have more information going back but none for descendants. Hugh married again to Amy Jane Barrie nee Lawrence and they lived at Barossa Street Perth with Thomas age 16 on the 1911 Census.There is no sign of a marriage for Sarah Stokoe nee Ord to Hugh Sinclair but they had a son Thomas who was my partners Father. I have the details of Sarah and her parents but no sign of a marriage..There is a Sarah Sinclair in a home in Newcastle so did she leave or did he kick her out? It's a mystery as he then got married again .I don't know if Sarah was still alive or dead then.
Thank you for trying though.

I found 2 people that were a possibility for matching trees but one wasn't and I'm waiting for a reply from the other one although its not the right birthplace.
Thank you all for your replies.
Jacqueline I didn't realise that I wouldn't get the parents on the death certificate. The parents are on on Scotlands death certificates. so its not worth sending for the death cert then.
I'm not sure what to do now. These ones that have been put on here for me I thank you all but I don't know how to match them up. Looks like I'm at a standstill.

Look for him in search trees to find anyone researching him


Parents are not named on English death certs and I'm afraid you can't possibly know where the man who died in 1957 was born unless you have the cert..........which you don't

The death was registered in the second qrtr, which means the man was born before the end June 1880, if the info about his age is accurate

The death is too early for his actual DOB and birthplace to be on the cert

Hugh Sinclair went back to Perth with Thomas and left William and John in Byker I suppose because they were apprentice boilemakers

Your best bet is to look in ,members trees to see if anyone has him in their tree

You can then try to make contact through the find out more box

It's unlikely anyone connected will just pop by and see this request so better you do the looking :-)

Also the informant on his death cert could be family
