That reocrd gives mother's name as Rose Bridgeman - but that could be a mistake.

What do you make of the fact that George attended an infant school aged 4? Isn't that a bit early? Does it suggest anything about mother Amelia at the time? Considering sister Amelia had just died.

Thank you for all this research guys :-D

Marriage certificate does not show the father as deceased, no. But both witnesses are not family members as far as I can see.

The birth of another child to Edward and Amelia in 1892 - thank you - I had not spotted that. That could give some more clues to link to the 1921/1939 George.

The 1901 uncle - I'm not so sure about this. I spotted this but was not so convinced because I cannot find a Henry as a brother of Edward.

With the 1911 uncles Charles and Thomas it made me think that even if he did not know his father well he would still have known his name. But maybe Edwin was what his brother's referred to him as, I guess.

Also consistent with the theory that the 1921 George did not know his father was that the father's profession was "labourer" which seems pretty generic. The Edward, father of the 1888 George was a plasterer.

As George isn’t with his parents from 1891 then it’s very likely he only had little information about them from his memory

The differences you see are in fact quite usual in genealogy terms

Information is only as good as what people think they know
