Find Ancestors

Thank you all so much for the time and effort you have put into this search. Sorry for late reply I have only just got back to this section of Gene Reunited!
I had found the Kitsons in Sidcup but was sidetracked by the fact that this George had married an Ada, didnt think of it being a second marriage! I will add all this to my tree and see how I go.
The younger George, born in 1891, told everybody that he was an orphan, it seems that his father just abandoned him to his grandparents who were quite old at the time.
He was sent away to a boarding school run by Jesuits and this appears to have been a great help to him, hence the census in 1901 giving an address in Uckfield.
Thank you again.

It would seem strange that the marriage of George Kitson to Ada, produced children and their first daughter is named after her mother Ada............ yet no son named George..... is this because he already had a son by his 1st marriage called George!!!
