The only George Martin I see on the 1881 born in Wades Mill is a railway laborer. Am I missing something? Which district of Herts is Wades Mill in? Rose

Looking at image for 1851 which Lesley found, I think his place of birth has been mistranscribed - Thundridge, not Trowbridge. He is servant to William Cooper, who is a miller ??(can't decipher next word)

Christine, Yes, found that tonight. I've been looking for a George with no luck & received the 2nd cert today stating name as William. I'm pretty sure that's the right family on 1881 as I know he was a gardener. Obviously I've got the wrong George in Wadesmill. I'm going to have to look again for his birth. Thanks a million for all your trouble.
