Re: Finding information on my great grandfather Andrew Scollay
Hi Alison , just noticed your post and as a Shetlander was interested . First of all I checked a site for Shetland and could only find an Andrew Scollay b 11/12/1876 to a Marion Scollay in Yell Shetland . He was also known as Andrew Barclay not sure if this may have been his reputed fathers name .maybe worth a look at his birth certificate.
I also found an Andrew Scollay as an AB sailor who was discharged in Sydney on the 29/12/1901 and taken to hospital due to chronic Rheumatism . The ship was the ATARAMA and he had sailed from Tilbury. Not sure what would have happened to him if he was unfit ......would he have been allowed to continue . You may have already seen these bits of information . But thought I would share it with you . I thought this illness might be the reason that he was recorded as incapacitated in 1939. Hope you can get some more info from Kew .
Margaret Vieira.
