I am trying to find the family of George Forsythe, born 1873 and died 1958 who came from the Border region and Northumberland. He may have been born in Scremerson. His youngest son was my father , GIlbert Forsythe, (Born 1912 - died 1997) . I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who may have information

Hi trish

Thanks very much for getting in touch and for the info - this sounds really promising as he was definately from that area.
I'd be really grateful if you could let me have any more info related to this man.

Very best wishes
