    Hello
    My first post.
    I recently found Norman Scott's details via Google and saw several other people were commenting.
    He was my father's brother hence would have been my uncle but he was killed before I was born. Are any of the researchers Scotts or Brayfords or other branch of the family? I would be pleased to hear.

    Hi Peter,

    Welcome to the forum

    The right man??

    From Ancestry

    UK, Army Roll of Honour, 1939-1945
    Name: Norman Scott
    Given Initials: N B
    Rank: Major
    Death Date: 27 May 1940
    Number: 52064
    Birth Place: Derbyshire
    Residence: Lincolnshire
    Regiment at Enlistment: Royal Corps of Signals
    Branch at Enlistment: Royal Corps of Signals
    Theatre of War: France and Belgium Campaign, 1939/40
    Regiment at Death: Royal Corps of Signals
    Branch at Death: Royal Corps of Signals

    There are other records for him but at present I cannot find any other family trees that include him. If you need military info of his time with the BEF then member Drew5233 is your man, so if you need that info I would suggest you start a thread in the 1940 section of the forum from where Drew will pick up your thread.

    Hi Peter

    I have been trying to find a birth cert for him and also a marriage cert to Vera Mary - both of which I have been unable to find (as yet).

    Looking for their marriage cert I did come across a Vera Mary Tilly who married twice, second time to a Clarence William Scott, but her first husband is unnamed, but obviously from the info he died sometime in 1940 (I believe) - so I was wondering if this was a coincidence for she liked having the Scott surname.
    This could be a complete red herring of course:
    "When Vera Mary Tilly was born on July 8, 1911, in London, London, her father, Herbert, was 41 and her mother, Laura, was 43. She married her first husband in 1940 in London, London. In December 1940 she married her second husband in London, London. She died in June 1984 in Eastbourne, Sussex, at the age of 72."


    I am beginning to wonder if he was actually born and/or married outside the UK - albeit the military document shows him being born in Derbyshire ??

    I believe you are following the wrong Vera Mary. My take is that she was Vera Mary Collard b.14Aug. 1914. And died in Sept. 1969. Belper 3a 81. She had a daughter Angela, Who is now deceased.
    I met them both only once or twice and obviously many years ago and had no further contact.
    Regards

    Hi PS

    You are probably right - I did mention that it was probably a red herring and so it has now been proved - thanks
