Yes, that is him Catherine, its the DOB i am looking for. Susan

1901 gives his name as George Edward so that should help.
Date of births are not given on any records apart from the birth cert. which you would have to buy.

Sorry, my mistake, i meant the year of birth. Susan

Strange, this christening record from IGI would appear to fit but it is a little earlier that expected?

Extracted birth or christening record (So is usually fairly reliable) !!

His birth is not registered so again, this earlier birth would account for that fact.

There are 2 other christenings with the same parents named so 'probably' siblings.

This may help you to decide if this is the correct one:

FREDERICK GOREE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 25 DEC 1842 Walton On Thames, Surrey, England

EDWARD GOREE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 25 JAN 1846 Walton On Thames, Surrey, England

Hello Dea, hmmmm, well it all seems to fit. I was given the birth year of 1849 which meant he had two children by the ripe old age of 15! Thankyou very much for your time. Susan

This is the family on 1851 - If this is 'your' family then the christening must be the correct one:

I dont as yet have any siblings for George Goree so that information is very interesting Dea, especially as the names Frederick and Edward run throughout the familes. Very much appreciated thankyou. Susan.

Brilliand Dea! It is all falling into place. Susan

This looks to be him in 1871:-

Name: George Gorce
Age: 32
Estimated birth year: abt 1839
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Clora
Gender: Male
Where born: Chelsea, Surrey, England
Civil parish: South Stoneham
Ecclesiastical parish: St Saviour
Town: Bitterne
County/Island: Hampshire
Country: England
Registration district: South Stoneham
Sub-registration district: South Stoneham
ED, institution, or vessel: 3
Household schedule number: 369
Household Members:
Name Age
George Gorce 32 - Carpenter
Clora Gorce 25 born: Durnford, Wiltshire
George E Gorce 7 born: Southampton, Hampshire
Clara A Gorce 6 born: Southampton, Hampshire
Fredric S Gorce 3 born: Southampton, Hampshire
Ellen L Gorce 1 born: Hersham, Surrey
Sarah Cox 40 - Lodger


which seems to confirm the birth record found by Dea!

Thankyou Catherine. Gorce! no wonder i could'nt find it. I am now searching for Geoge and his first wife Clara's marriage. Not having any luck. She was born in Durnford Wiltshire if i can please trouble you further. Susan.

With a difficult name such as Goree, it might be an idea to buy the birth cert. of one of their children to find out the maiden name of Clara, and use this to find a marriage.

This is one birth that was quite easy to find:-
Births Jun 1867 (>99%)
GOREE Frederick Samuel S. Stoneham 2c 60

I think that is what i will have to do. Gone through a million Goree Marriages but cant find what i am looking for. Thankyou for your time Catherine, as always, it is very much appreciated. Susan.

Durnford came under the reg.dist. of Amesbury so I had a look at births for this district between 1845 and 1847 for Clara ? and only one came up:-

Births Dec 1847 (>99%)
BURROUGH Clara Amesbury 8 227

and extending the search to 1844 to 1848 one more showed:-

Births Mar 1848 (>99%)
LEACH Clara Amesbury 8 271

so both possible births for Clara, although not to be taken as gospil.

Thankyou Catherine. If anyone was to ask how i spent my morning, i would have to say ... i had five hour's of frustrating pleasure! Susan.

I'm sure this is him in 1911 spelt GOREY. I think they filled in their own 1911 forms so I guess his age would be right 73 born 1838.

Eliza is his second wife as they have only been married 11 years and she has not had any children. There is a son Sam aged 43 on the census.
I can't find a marriage around 1900 to an Eliza but there is one in 1885 Southampton for a George Edward Goree to either an Ann Selina Dear or Jane Madden!!

Here's the 1911

If his first wife was Clara re 1901 then I think she died in 1897 so the 1885 marriage wouldn't have been his
