hi I know this is a long shot and I don't have a lot of information but im running out of ideas, any help is welcomed, im desperately searching for my father his name is Gordon Russell Pollock born in Edinburgh he is 56 his last known address to me is Talbot drive, scotstounhill, Glasgow an that was when I was born 28 years ago I have no idea where he went after that. his mother an sisters names are jean an mary but im unsure what way about they are. As him an my mother were never married im struggling to get any help to find him because he may have a third party (wife and kids) that may not no about me. hope someone can help me. thanx Rachael xxxx

malyon could you please indicate what you sent by PM

an address? a bmd index entry?

are you confident that you have identified the correct person?

if Rachael still needs assistance it would be a shame if no one offered it because they thought you had found everything she needs, if that is not actually so

there appear to be more than one Gordon R Pollock in Glasgow alone (on the electoral roll), none apparently over 55, and other Gordon Pollocks

okay well that was pointless

if it was http://www.freeelectoralroll.co.uk you cannot send a direct link to any search results anyway

and as I pointed out, none of the listings shown there for the name in question match the age of Rachael's father

Tracesmart has an address for a Gordon RUSSELL Pollock who is age 56. Have pmd this. Unfortunately it is only until 2009 but he could have opted out of the electoral rolls. So not sure but sent it as a possible.

I had a couple of spare credits left on Scotland's People.

I cannot find a birth in the Edinburgh area for Gordon Russell Pollock circa 1959.

I have however found a birth in the Glasgow Area for a Gordon Russell Pollock in 1959.

I have also found a marriage for Gordon Russell Pollock to a Jacqueline W Gray in 1989 also in the Glasgow Area.

It may be worth buying either or both of these certificates to find out if this is the gentleman that you are looking for.

I would probably suggest buying the marriage certificate as it is the most recent document.

I do not see a death for Gordon Russell Pollock in the Scottish Records.

Hope that this is of assistance to you in your search.

Doug.

The address I sent above Gordon Russell Pollock was living with the same lady age 48. So looking good Dougie.

perhaps Devonlady and Dougieb1 would edit their messages to remove the name of the other person ... info was sent by private message and the other person's personal info does not need to be posted publicly here.

lucky I asked whether help was still needed, good for you guys and I hope it helps Rachael ... and maybe Rachael will return to her thread and reply :-)
