He Married Mary Elizabeth from Northumberland ,and know he died 1943abt. march.. Is there any hope for us.Have diffirent stories of his Father going to do boat something or other maybe Isle of Wight. but supposedly he ran off from spinster aunts he was sent to live with .His Father maybe being military. Would there be a war in Scotland I could find his Father in ..I am gratefull for being able to write this .Thank you wallyhazel@shaw.ca

Hazel, if you have a subscription to Ancestry there is a William Ogilvie married to a Mary Elizabeth on the British Army Pensions database. There's 16 pages including his wife's maiden name all their children, his description, etc.

You'll be pleased to know he was a sober & hardworking man!

& yes, please remove your email address. People can contact you through GR.

Is this your man? This is his wife on the pension records.

Do you think he was born in Scotland because of the surname or do you have any evidence? Do you know his father's name & occupation? When did he go to live with spinster aunts?

We need some feedback from Hazel. I think she may have most of this information. She's been researching him for 7 years.

She needs to tell us what she wants to find out when she's in the UK & how much time she's able to give to searching.
