Hi Mike
Just to let you know this is my george charles durrell.
It`s been along time for me but i still dont know when he died ,just cant find anything to put me on the right path.
there is a very slim possability he may have changed his name to thomas owen whome was in the same area.and george does have a connection with him via friendship.
the other problem i have is that it`s said he left everything he owned to go to the said said children,because his daughter married a merchant seaman,charlotte did do this so geoge i assume was still alive at that time which i think was around 1887.
I would give my right hand to get this sorted

Hi Glenn - to see if George is any other tree on this site, use the Search Trees tab top of this page

Good luck!

Ann

Dear friends,
can anyone source information relating to the death of a George Durrell in edmonton 1873 aged 40aprox
It would be much appreciated as this George as the same near enough birth year as the George im looking for.
Hope you can help,
Glenn

Hi Astra this George is the wrong one ,he was married to Harriet and i have his death certificate He was living at 10 Smiths View Southsea and this George was born c1811 and he is i believe a relative of mine but is not the George im looking for.

Will if it as me I would be ordering this death certificate to see if it is your George. If it isn't we can begin searching again.
This has to be your next step.

Durrell George Portsea 2b 296

Hi Astra,
Thankyou for this info,
It`s much appreciated.
It deffinatley looks to be correct,but where or what has happened to George.I know this may sound a little stupid,but sometime ago someone mentioned that George could have changed his name to Thomas Owen,because when Thomas died ,he re-appears, but i cant remember which index they got this from.Incredible mystery this one,it`s probably staring me in the face,but i just cant see it.
There is another George buried in the Droxford or Shedfield area of Hampshire,could this be him.

Yours
Glenn

Hi Ann,
i was told out of the blue there was a george durrell from uk born 1834 ,now living in Jersey,and in my excitement i posted item in the hope it would help me trace this elusive george of mine.
Please except apolgies

why on earth do you have two postings on the Durrell family? not allowed by GR - I have added a stack to your other posting

The name appears to be Dunell and not Durrell unfortunately.

Mary A. Dunell
Age: 40
Estimated birth year: abt 1841
Relation: Wife
Spouse's name: George Dunell
Gender: Female
Where born: Jersey, Channel Islands

George Dunell 45>>>>Baker
Mary A. Dunell 40
William Dunell 17
John Dunell 14
Edmund Dunell 3
George Collice 18

Someone has made an alteration to the 1891 so it would appear that the name is definitely Dunell and Find my Past have transcribed it wrongly in 1871. On Ancestry in 1871 it is Dunell and reads as such on the original

George Dunell was born in Somerset. In 1861 he is in Jersey living with his brother Elias (a butcher) and his wife.

jerseylily,thankyou i cant wait,any info you can obtain will be most welcomed,i promise you.
Regards
Glenn

If i could find this George`s death on the island,perhaps this could be a big help to me,because he certaily isnt here in the uk,if you look above at the help given you will see some details already about the George in Jersey.

It looks like george could have remarried a lady with the same name as his first wife,unless mary has in fact gone to Jersey and then had a couple more children with george.I really do believe this is him.

I'll have a look for you next week - the Jersey Archive isn't open again until Tues.

Why do you think he married in Jersey ?

Mary Mills may have been born there but married in Hampshire, returning to the channel islands where the children were born.

You need to trace the birth certs of the children to confirm parents names.
