Can anybody help me find George Dalley (middle name Robert)... born c1847 St Giles, London... I can't see a birth record on Freebmd for him, nor can I find him in the 61/71 census pre his marriage.

He is with his widowed mother, Elizabeth in the 1851... here for ref:

I would like to find him in 61/71, and also track his birth record so I can find his father. I know it should be listed on his marriage cert, but I would still like to find his birth record if possible.

Thanks for any input..

Try looking for a second marriage for his mother. He may have taken his stepfather's name on the 1871 census.

Thanks for those.... I think you may have got him!!

I'd forgotten about Civil reg not being compulsory ... thanks for reminding me!

Pamela

Pamela Report 22 Mar 2008 12:19

Shirley - thanks... family info is that he died in a "fall"... he was a builder.. so I am also going to be on the trail of his death cert and any inquest.. as it must have been a significant fall to kill a 41yo man... all adds to the interest!
