Have you got this certificate to see if George is a witness again?? It doesn't seem to be in the Liverpool Parish records on ancestry


Marriages Dec 1900 (>99%)

Barnard Elvenea Liverpool 8b 21

I was wondering if George had gone to live with Elvenea at some point, and maybe taken on her "new" name

Have you tried searching on findmypast for passengers leaving England???


You can search for free ..... I do it all the time, and it just gives you an idea as to whether someone has left, and where they might have gone.

Who died in 1887?

Sheila

Sheila Report 22 Mar 2012 03:29

Jax Just checked that George, and it's not the one, as I have found that George's death certificate,we did send away for it, the informant was the father-in-law a William Barkier(?) the name is hard to read, but this George died 3 November 1887 to close to Margaret's death 14 Oct: 1886 Sorry it's not my George/Henry
