Does anyone know of a William Scott (born around 1915)whos mothers maiden name may have been Hockaday

Go to freebmd site and look for the birth reg'n............ALWAYS go there first for bmd info between 1837 and approx 1930

nothing on free bmd
evan checked to see if he was born out of wedlock

The information i have is he was married to Dorothy Amos (my Nan) and was high up in the army during WW11 in Malta. He had children, Vera(1940)Patricia & Jean.
He may have been William Hockaday then as mother Hockaday married a Mr Scott and had other children Hockaday

Your best bet is to buy the cert for his marriage to Amos, which will tell you his declared age, plus the name and occupation of his father (if known)

What leads you to think he was born in Camberwell?

Have you done any research yourself on freebmd? For his birth or anything else?

I've looked, and there is no marriage for Scott/Hockaday.

William Scott is my Mothers Father who married my Nan (amos) who lived in Peckham in the Camberwell District. He later re-married again. My mother was young and was brought up by her new father and moved to devon and lost contact with him and could not remember much about him.

If you actually wish to make any progress, you will need to buy the marriage cert.

At the moment, you are speculating............

Vera was reg as Scott mmn Amos so seems he married as Scott

The marriage was 1936
Would think its highly unlikely the parties are still alive so will post the ref
June qtr 1936
Wiliiam J Scott to Amos Camberwell 1d 1863
this will give you the ages and hopefully both dads names & occupations

How about this one .maybe mum married later
