Having no luck trying to find out more about my grandfather William Percy I do know that he was born in July of 1896 in maryhill glasgow and quite a bit about his later life what i would like to know is if he had any brothers or half brothers which i suspect he did because his father was a widower when he married his mother and after his father died when he was sixteen his mother also married again. He had a sister named Margaret (Maggie) this was also his mothers name. Maggie his sister was married to a man named Walter Beattie any help would be appreciated. Elizabeth Ellis
