Hi joonie have joined scotlands people found a john mee abbott but on the site it does not give you parents name so I have sent for more information at a cost of £12 pounds think it is birth certificate will let you know when I receive it DAVE

Ah, Ancestry has it wrong then (not surprisingly!). But it's definitely blurry.

Dave, maybe communicate with the GRO if you put 'T' - to say it may be 'F' - just so you don't get a 'not found' reply.

Thank you for all your help on the original page for mabel I could no tell if it was a T or an F but I will know more in a few days when I receive birth certificates takes up to 4 working days DAVE

Joonie according to freebmd Mabel's middle initial was F? and it does look as if it is on image on FMP also.

heh, I was going to suggest that you post here what you sent me privately but I see you have done it :-)

the site is what I posted above

http://scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

you have to create an account with a password, which is free, and then you buy credits (5 at a time I think) to look at search results and certificates

you will only need one credit to look at the list of John Abbott births 1940-1945

if someone reading has spare credits they might do this for you so wait a bit

but to view a birth certificate from the last 100 years you have to order it and receive it by mail

... just in case he isn't one of those John Abbotts ... a John Mee was born there in 1937 ...


if Mabel is a sister, since she was born mid-1943, likely John was born a little earlier or later

there is no marriage for her name (middle initial T)

you mentioned John was last known in Barrow in Furness late 1950s so this was when they were all still children, in care together?

if they were adopted, all their surnames might have been changed ... but you are in touch with Dorothy?

good luck with the birth certificates

Thank you so much what site did you go on in Scotland also I have sent for birth certificate for norm and mabel.we do not know if mabel is a sister have been trying to find a birth for a sister named ann born about 1943 with them all being brought up in care maybe changed from mabel to ann best wishes DAVE

Is Mabel born 1943 in Fylde also a sister? same parents' surnames ...

Mary Mee married David Abbott in 1939 in Scotland

http://scotlandspeople.gov.uk

found via free search, but credits needed to look at details

1940-1945 there were 8 John Abbott births in Scotland

That list can be obtained for only one credit (mine have expired or I would have)

and I think the list would show mother's surname for each birth? so the right one could be identified, if he was born in Scotland

this doesn't help a lot for finding him unfortunately, but at least you would have accurate info about him to be getting on with

(his actual birth certificate is not available on line and would have to be ordered, but would give more info about the parents)

re john abbott father was david McEwen abbott could have been born in Scotland maybe john was also many thanks DAVID

For ref helpers, mother was Mary Mee

Both the deceased John Abbotts that Ann has posted appear to have been born in Leigh, no connection as to surname of mother, or father's name of David, so far as I can tell from matching marriages on freebmd.

a boy Abbot born 1990 in Fylde - mother Wilson

there's a John Abbot married in Fylde in 1971 to a Barbara Wilson
