Maybe Mel - Could have been a STD which he passed on - quite rife at the time (there was a war on after all and many of them came back home with such things).

We cannot judge !!

Mel..
I have been looking for George and thought he might have been with one of his siblings.
But no luck so far and I have traced all of his siblings.

2 of George's siblings died as infants,
2 older,1 in teens other in early 20's.

the rest married.

William ands Elizabeth had 10 children and 6 living in 1911.

Thaks Sue and yes we know that. It is really just George we can't find. I suppose he could have been travelling at the time of the census?? and just been missed off.

Still I suppose we will never know...................................

I did have a look at millitary records but could only find a George Tummon from Derby and when I looked he had a wife and two children so I ruled that one out.

I have found the other married one too Mel !!

I just wonder if perhaps he was a bigamist and that was why the marriage and children details were crossed out ???

Just a thought!

Mel.

Have thought of looking for George with a birth date nearer Ediths birth date as he was 19 years older than her.

As if he was born around 1893/4.

Your friend really needs to send for the marriage cert to see how old George was pertaining to be..

As he was actually only about 8 years younger than her father..
