    Egginton, George Henry

    MWS Thank you for your input. I did see the marriage to Gwendoline Anne and also National Probate details for George (1943 death) so could be correct just need to do a little more research to tie the ends up. Still no 1911 census though. Peter

    David, It's proving to be a difficult one to get the answers we need. IF the 1911 census with James, Sarah etc is the Brown family we need then it's only Benjamin that we can find a fair amount of info on. The following link will show...

    Darwood, W.

    Thank you one and all for your help. I had checked 1901 and 1911census also 1921 before posting this request. I am 90% certain I have the right Darwood family but proof of them living at 395 Farm St. in 1903 would make it 100%. Peter

My reason for asking about 395 Farm St. around 1903/4 would confirm for...

    Chamberlain, G.

    If the baptism is the correct one it would seem to tie up (although a bit complecated) but still need to find him on 1901 and 1911 census.
