Thank you very much Maureen, yes that is very likely to be Rose :)

Right, I managed to speak to some relatives and get some info which has cleared up a few confusions..

First of all, I got the birth date of George (jr) completely wrong and he was in fact much older than Violet so was not born in 1922! Therefore he is very likely to be 'Henry George' Jr instead!
'Rose' was actually the youngest of all the siblings.

As well as this, I found out that Margaret (who was known as Peg) was actually possibly called Elizabeth Margaret- and there is an Elizabeth on the census looked up yesterday.

Thirdly, we believe that there was a 'Nell' and Nelly is also listed on the census!

And finally, there were definately more than 4 children- but many of them died before Violet May was born or when she was very young. Apparently at Rose's grave there are a few of her siblings buried close by and they died at infancy or as children.

So all of this indicates that we are along the right lines with the family in the 1911 census and so on!




Ohhh and one last thing... I have also found out that (Henry) George Senior (the father) died before 1943 and his wife died around 1946 or 1947.

I researched Henry George's death on Free BMD and found a Henry G Hallford who died in 1938 in Uxbridge and would have bene born around 1869 so this must be him!


Than you very much again to everybody who helped me with this puzzle! It is all very much appreciated :) :)
