Find Ancestors

thanks cynthia i will have a look ,,,,lyn

Hi Lyn,

Have you tried the Medway City Ark site? You should be able to find George's baptism on there. That will give you the name of his parents and, if you continue searching, any siblings he may have had.

If you get stuck, let me know and I will look for you. Regards. Cx.

There's also this one ( with a bride missing)
Trouble is until Ellen's maiden name is known, there are too many possibilites.

You need your gt grandmother's birth cert which will tell you the mother's maiden name.

Only one to cover Mitcham is this but that would make her more than 9 weeks old in 1881 census, taken 3rd April ?? ... so not 100% on this one

Do you know if she had a middle name ?

How have you arrived at George ?
Are you looking for the husband of Ellen Barber or the George who was born in Chatham in 1854 ?

If this is your George, I think there are some wires crossed.
This one was born c1854
Couldn't be the one who married Ellen Barber in 1866
