His marriage cert would give his age, so you could see if there were reports about him being found in the local paper at that time. How reliable is the story about him being found on a door step? nell

I've seen in recent years, of people who have themselves been left on doorsteps, in phone boxes, etc .... and they have not been able to find out who they actually are or where they were from. Thats during the last 20 - 70 years ...... so I wouldn't hold out much hope for more than 100 years ago babe .... if this person was left on a doorstep. :-( Elaine ;-)

Hi I am looking for a George Frederick Thompson, He died in sheffield about 1926. I cannot find anything relating to him. He married a Mary Alice Jarvis. Aparently he was left in a basket on a doorstep so I am not sure I will find anything as I realise that his new parents may have given him his surname. Could anyone give me any ideas Thanks Zoe
