George P R McCormick, Lanarkshire, 1949/1950

Hi all,

It has come to light recently that my mothers' father actually legally adopted her, and that her biological father was a man called George P R McCormick (Peter Reid I believe the middle names are). He was born either 1949/1950 in Lanarkshire, Scotland (Coatbridge I believe).

Quick google searches only show a person by this name dying in 2015 at Kingston Hospital, London.

I can find the marriage record of him and my Nan in 1971.

Apart from these I can find no records.

It's a long shot I know, but does anyone have any info on him, or any family he may have had post 1973?

Thanks,
Billy

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I only know his name, and not a mother to any children he may have had after he left my Nan. So I’m not too sure how to search the records on that page without any additional info

Hi Rambling.

I will order a copy of the birth certificate tomorrow (currently living in sydney so getting a little late)!

I am more interested to find living relatives if indeed he has passed away, and not sure how much information a birth certificate will give me regarding this. Still, it can’t hurt to have that on hand.

Thanks!
