Find Ancestors

Does his father's name come from George's marriage certificate?
It's just that I have been checking other trees on Ancestry and they all have his father as George.

Thank you for all your replies.

As far as I'm aware, George was born in Castle Donnington, however I have not been able to find a birth certificate.

Yes, he married Priscilla Bishop in 1865.

As for the dates, I know it seems like a long time between Thomas and Ann's marriage and the birth of George. My only conlucion for that can be that they had more children before George?

Also, I don't know if this will help, but George was a boatman, as were many of his sons so I would imagine his father, Thomas also worked on the barges...

Many thanks,
Tansy

Only birth for Leicestershire, but we don't know if they lived there after marriage.

Would need to check the certificate for parents.

Are you sure about your dates? - Not impossible but they don't look quite right.

What other info do you have please?

Where was George born ,to find a census

Hi, I'm trying to find my great x4 grandparents who I believe are from Leicestershire.

Thomas Hallford/Halford and Ann Hargraves got married in 1822 and had a son, George in 1841.

Any information about them or the birth/ death dates etc for Thomas and Ann would be greatly appreciated please and also any details of their other children if they had any.

Many thanks,
Tansy
