How strange, I am Patricia Cooke nee Mason dob 25.1.19?? with a daughter Elizabeth Cooke History repeating itself I think!!
As I said tomorrow I will make time to go through all your options and choose myself a family...is that allowed?
PS I can't understand why Martha Mary was in the Marylebone orphanage either unless her mother was too ill to look after her.
Patricia

If it is the one ine Tonbridge then George 1812 and Elizabeths marriage maybe.
George Mason married Elizabeth Cook 25/1/1835.

Ric Mason married Jane Millis 29/6/1803 and christened,
William 27/9/1807
Mary Ann 1/10/1809
George 11/10/1812 all in Tonbridge.

There was a marriage for a Frederick Mason J/A/S 1866 to Selina Twort or Eliza E Willicombe 2a 822.

Another in Tonbridge Frederick to Mary Hannon J/A/S 1874 2a 824.

1881 Frederick with wife mary 26,Tower Street Eastbourne D17 32.
Son William 1873/4
Harry 1853 brother. as on 1871 census.

I guess my thinking was that the T'bridge George was quite possibly the son of one of the unmarried daughters (Martha??) and just put down good old Uncle Fred as his father on the marriage cert to save face.

I was trying to check out the other George (son of Fred and Hannah) to see if I could find him post 1871,but not having much luck. He seems to be a witness on brother Frank's marriage to Jane Pearl in 1888. Could someone who has access maybe see if they think the signature for George on his marriage to Emily Sharpe matches up to the one where he's a witness? (did that make sense??)

I really am leaning towards the T'bridge fellow,but not 100% certain.

Maureen

So if we are going with George being born in Tonbridge 1866 and with grandparents in Tonbridge 1871 and with them a Frederick 1850 so he would have only been @ 16 when George was born!!!!!!!!

1881 District 6 Tonbridge
George 1822 Railway Labourer
Elizabeth 1815
Henry Foster son in law
CLARA daughter 1854
George 15 + 1866 now says son,but he isn't,their son George was born 1844.

1891 D5 image 37 George Mason 1813 Railway Labourer Widow living on his own.

I'am now thinking the other George etc which I posted was in fact the wrong one.

Maryb

This was my grandfather George Louis he was in the Royal House Artillery. The only photograph of him was in his full dress uniform. I am pretty sure everything is correct including George Edward and Emily Sharpe. I think the info'Jax and Mary gave me could seriously be the rest of the family going back to 1806. I have to go out for the rest of today but will check more details on the cenus's tomorrow.
Thanks again for the help.

Maureen

Yes, Maureen that's what I was looking at. Think a birth certificate for George Louis is needed before going further back....just in case his parents aren't George & Emily!

EDIT : Now can see how Patricia has got to George & Emily as parents. Especially as Emily's father was called Lowies Sharpe

I agree with Londonbelle! Doesn't this make more sense for George?

I have to log off now and do some work, but thank's again I am quite excited you have all helped me find my family.
Patricia.

The only reason why I asked whether you had got George Louis' birth certificate is that the 1901 census states that George Snr was born in Tunbridge Wells Kent not Middlesex or Essex
