  • Another George and another 1911 query

    Just found this one and it's another military chap named George,

    any info from the return would be appreciated.

    HAY GEORGE b1881 30 Overseas Military

    Would he be a match for a George Hay born 1880, Hartlepool, Durham?

      Thanks Sue

      Just noticed in my notes there is a One World Tree entry showing his death as being in 1956 but no details of a spouse anywhere. An aged aunt once came back to the UK to visit him (has to be after 1953) and the rumour is he was fairly well up the ranks in the military ranks at one point.
