Do you have George H Airey and Mabel Hitchen in your tree if so please can you help me? I know they married in 1928 in Liverpool. But I cant find where George was born or when. I am trying to find this out for a friend but she cant afford to buy their wedding certificate.
Thanking you for any help.

Hi

Have you looked on "Search All Members Trees" to see if any other members have him in their tree?

thank you for your help but I dont think thats him because Mabel was born in 1909 I think he would be to old

Mel Fairy Godmother

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 22 Feb 2014 17:14

Does she not even know how old he, like what year he was born?

ArgyllGran Report 22 Feb 2014 17:15

That George (in 1891 census) would have been 59 in 1928. Doesn't mean it can't be him, of course.

I think your friend is just going to have to bite the bullet and buy the marriage cert, Sue.
Without an indication of his age at marriage, we can't give any definite help.

Is this Mabel's birth?

Births Sep 1909
Hitchen Mabel Nottingham 7b 427

Do you know when she died?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 22 Feb 2014 17:21

Even if he was roughly the same age as Mabel, he could be any of these (or other older Georges). You already know that, but I'll post them for reference:

Births Jun 1892 (>99%)
Airey George Herbert Lancaster 8e 761

Births Sep 1900 (>99%)
Airey George Henry Hendon 3a 243

Births Jun 1902 (>99%)
AIREY George Henry Hull 9d 284

Births Dec 1902 (>99%)
Airey George Henry Aston 6d 232

Births Jun 1910 (>99%)
AIREY George Henry Penrith 10b 548

The Lancaster one might be the most likely - at least it's in Lancashire.

Andrew Report 22 Feb 2014 17:22

Maybe??

Births Jun 1910 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AIREY George Henry Penrith 10b 548

Likely marriage in 1953 to Florence Slater, which could be second marriage with death in 1994.

May have been a postman.
