I am aware that this will probably my least successful posting
so here goes.As the heading suggests,i am clutching at straws here,due to the very limited knowledge i have on this person.George Burgess appears to have been my Sister's Father.Born i would say in the 1920's,in Leith North,Edinburgh,Scotland.He seems to have been forced into one of the navy's due to this pregnancy.My Sister was Born in 1947,George and my Mum never Married.The Burgess family lived at that time in Great Junction Street,Leith.His navy career took him far and wide,and he got himself into the newspapers for jumping ship and swimming ashore to get back to someone,not sure who this was.He died on the streets of London as a down and out,i don't know when.Very little is known about George in my family and sadly since my Mum passed away i have nobody to ask
Clutching at Straws,indeed,Regards,David
