Hi Listers, I've newly subscribed to the Scottish List, in the hope that someone might be able to help me find some information about my Father, who I have not seen or heard from since 1947. I have searched for about 40 years, even searched the GRO Deaths Indexes for England & Wales, but to no avail. I have just found a Cousin who tells me that her Father, my Father's Brother, was asked by the Scottish Police, about 20 years ago, to go to Scotland, from Liverpool, to identify a body that they had found, and it turned out to be my Father. My Cousin can tell me nothing more about the circumstances, or location, and as her Father has since died, I would like to ask you if you remember anything like this happening in your area, or reading of it in the papers. Or perhaps some kind person could look in the Scottish Deaths Indexes for him. His name was JAMES JOSHUA MERCER, d.o.b. 26th July 1911, in Liverpool, so he would be in the age range of 65 to 75 when he died. I would appreciate any help you can give me, and offer my sincere thanks. Regards, Tom Mercer. Coedpoeth, Wrexham. Member of Clwyd FHS, Liverpool & SWLancs FHS, Cumbria FHS.
