Hi I was wondering if anyone could help I am trying to find information on my grandfather Eric Gordon MacKay Burke.

What I know
He was married to June Hollingsworth which was registered in 1958 in Ashton
He died in Yorkshire in 1969
He has a son called Malcolm Ian Burke
I believe he was in the Midlothian region near Edinburgh for part of his life

If anybody could get me information on the year he was born and possibly his parents names it would be a great help

Thanks very much for you help with him being born in 1911 I may be able to use the census to get more information on his parents.

It is really appreciated
