I was wondering if perhaps George was born before marriage and registered in mother's maiden name or first married name? I can't find marriage of his parents though.

I can't find a marriage for George and Clara either!

Do you want to hear a story?

I'm also wondering if they ever did marry. Maybe he married someone else, met Clara, left his wife to be with Clara but of course wouldn't be able to marry her and the couple just pretended to be married. Or vica versa, she may have already been married.

You're confusing me now, Catherine! I was speaking of George, listed as son of Edward & Mary, possibly being a son of Mary but I can't find a marriage of Edward & Mary.

Yes Margaret, I've just realised that so have edited my posting.

Catherine

Catherine Report 23 Apr 2010 15:42

I got confused because Dea has already posted George's birth on page one (born 1837 son of Edward and Mary)

Catherine Report 23 Apr 2010 15:44

George was born in 1837 so this is probably the marriage:-

EDWARD GOREE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 20 NOV 1836 Walton On Thames, Surrey, England
Spouse: MARY PRATT

I am 99% sure that the George Dea found born 23/05/1837 and baptised 25/06/1837 at Walton on Thames is the right George. On the 1911 census he is 73 which would be right as he would be 74 in May 1911 therefore born in 1837.

According to my route planner it is only 1.7 miles between Walton on Thames and Hersham.

Sorry for confusing the issue, I've got to start reading the thread more thoroughly before I respond. Of course, the birth of George was on page 1.
