Member Since: November 2009 Posts: 18 Send Message	My great grandfather was George Henry Davis (abt 1840) born at Chatteris in Cambridgeshire. I can't find a birth record ,so far, for him. I know from his marriage cert (1861 to Jane Thurborn) that his father was also called George.I know from his death cert that he died in 1885 aged 44. Unhelpfully, the 1841 Census gives 2 George Davis both with fathers called George and both born at Chatteris.one aged 1 and the other aged 2. Can anyone out there with more experience suggest how you could work out which one is 'mine'? Or is this a brick wall? Confused
