Find Ancestors

Hi everyone. This is a real long shot.
I am trying to track down the ancestry of my gfather in law. His father on marriage cert is named as Robert Thompson deceased Shipwright. Gge told family he was brought up by someone, may not even be Thompson. Named his second son Edwin WARWICK and I wonder if there is a connection there, given victorian fashion of naming children after relatives.

George was in Paddington London in 1906 for marriage and then moved to Rochester Kent where he died in 1954. However this may mean nothing.

Any help greatly appreciated

Where was George born as it is a very common name and it would be dificult to find him in the census without more information. When did he die as depending when his date of birth may be mentioned. Sorry I see he died 1954. Irene

Is it the death registered at Chatham age 73 as he is George W Thompson which may help with finding him in the earlier census. Irene

Dec 1906 Paddington marriage of George to either Susan Emily E Vaughan or Laura Bohannon. Irene

Do you mean George and Edwin were his children not his brothers?

Thanks for all the help. Most of the detail I had discovered previously. Still no joy on the date of birth tho. The BIG problem is we don't know where or the exact date of birth - but the most likely connection looks to be that which 'Potty' suggested as further research seems to echo the family story that George's name wasn't Thompson at all. Once again Thanks and good hunting.
