I wonder if you good people can help me I do know that some of our ancesters lived 'over the brush', and maybe that's what happened to mine, but I'd love it if anyone can find our elusive Great grandad's first marriage. (He remarried in 1887 to Elizabeth Clarke) I'll try to give all the details as best I can: George Fogg b 1855 Ashbourne Derbyshire parents were John and Ann Fogg nee Winterton Married Annie Leatherbarrow (no further details known) (He wasn't anything to do with the George Fogg who married Mary Ellen Jones in 1879!) In 1883 they were living in Ripley Derbyshire and had a daughter there, Laura Anne Fogg(I have birth certificate for here, so parents are certain) In 1884 they were living in Long Eaton, where they had another child, George Edward Fogg. Annie died soon after childbirth, (Nov) and George Edward died a few months later in Mar 1885. Throughout this time, George born 1855 was a railway porter/forman or similar. It would be fantastic to know if and when they were married, as I can't find a marriage anywhere! Many thanks Mandy

Hi Esta, Laura Anne Fogg born 15/01/1883 Ripley Derbyshire I am certain that George Fogg is this one on the 1881 Name: George Fogg Age: 25 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856 Relation: Visitor Gender: Male Where Born: Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England Civil parish: Burslem County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Street address: 60 Reid St Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Horse Dealer Registration district: Wolstanton Sub registration district: Burslem ED, institution, or vessel: 10 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age George Fogg 25 Ann Shaw 45 John Shaw 35 Source Citation: Class: RG11; Piece: 2714; Folio: 17; Page: 27; Line: ; GSU roll: 1341650.

Thanks Jeanette, should have done that myself, just got too excited again!

This looks like George in 1891 but no sign of his children from his first wife? Name: George Fogg Age: 35 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856 Relation: Lodger Spouses's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where Born: Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England Civil parish: Eastwood Ecclesiastical parish: Eastwood Town: Codnor County/Island: Nottinghamshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Basford Sub registration district: Greasley ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Alice Fogg 2 Elizabeth Fogg 25 George Fogg 35 John J Fogg 1 Edward Lord 32 Gertrude E Lord 3 Hannah Lord 28 James C Lord 1 Mabel Lord 4 Georgina.

Georgina, you're absolutely right, that's him. We wondered where Laura was too (George Edward had died) She was found masquerading as LOUISA in Long Eaton! That's where he lived previously to remarrying and where his son was born adn his wife and son died.

This must be his daughter in 1891... Name: Louisa A Fogg Age: 8 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1883 Relation: Visitor Gender: Female Where Born: Kipley, Derbyshire, England Civil parish: Long Eaton Ecclesiastical parish: St Lawrence Town: Long Eaton County/Island: Derbyshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Shardlow Sub registration district: Stapleford ED, institution, or vessel: 9 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Louisa A Fogg 8 Charles James 41 Margaret James 37 Thomas Jork 18 Harry Thompson 21 Frank Woolford 22 Georgina.

Yes that's the one Georgina....sorry I disappeared, my connection went awol!

I'm nudging this thread in the hope someone can maybe help today. It was a bit quiet in here yesterday! Thanks
