Im looking for my G Grandfather George Wood. I know he lived in the tiny village of bridge nr Canterbury. Ive found him using the GRO indexes. However, I have 3 George Woods, all born 1865, all in Bridge, two in the D 1/4 and one in the J 1/4 ,all in the same volume 02A. How is it possible to have three Georges born 1865 in a one horse village, all within months of each other? Incidentally all have a different mothers surname,Champs, Munns, and Reynolds. Even if I order all 3 certs id still not know which one is my GGrandfather, not knowing his mothers name. Any help would be appreciated
