i think i understand what you wrote,sorry im not sure what to do as alltho ive had membership for a while im not used to this part...
is there anyway someone could help find georges parents

It is hard to find Georges parents when I cannot find George

I see there is an Emily Prescott as a witness wonder if she is a sister?

jax

It says on that census that Henry was born in Islington not seeing one at the moment I'm affraid

jax

i have no idea if she was a sister or not, i was adopted as my mother died shortly after my birth and Leonard my dad gave me my sister and 1 brother away so my maternal grandparents brought me up in scotland
if i could find george then i imagine i could try find out where to buy a birth for george

my father Leonard i dont know where he lived in london after he left us but i found his death but no mention of a wife on it, but do know he married as i had a visit from a stepbrother of who he said had 7 siblings....most undesirable lot lol

This is the only one I've seen that even looks close! I wonder if "George" was a bit of a cover-up??

So it looks like henry could well be illigitamate and George could be made up to save face?

jax

Possible. I certainly don't see a George the butcher around anywhere!!!

Maureen

sorry lost ye there what do you mean....i realise what illigitamate means but what do ye mean George made up? sorry for being a bit ignorant

does that mean thats where ma roots end?

If they didnt know who their father was they just made up a name I have a few in my family

jax

Sorry to rush away,but my computer keeps crashing and it's bedtime!!

Good luck!

Maureen

We will keep looking for you but maybe you will have to trace the mothers line instead
