    Harold Davis

    Hi MWS hope you are doing OK. I have found that, yes expensive. Again like you say it might not give me what I'm after. He might have been a pauper/union. Hoping with such a tragic death he had a decent send off. Once lockdown is over can get over to Brandwood. Again trying to find a needle in a...

    Hi and thanks, George is down as lock filer marriage to Caroline Stanley. You've probably seen that. Never had anything like this before though. Both literate on that marriage, not even an age. Probably correct I those days, maybe explains William not showing until 1891 census. Just glad it's...

    It's like a murder mystery. So that rules out The HOUGHBORNE theory? Why on earth have a fictiuocous surname? No wonder trees on ancestry got no further back than William. So a birth certificate still out of the question? You don't give up. Many thanks for your perseverance. MWS.

    Have found marriage cert June 1855. George and Caroline. Got 2 devices going. It all slots in. Do you agree with the variation of Houghbourne to hubard to Huburn MWS? Seems to be alot of iletracy. Lock filer, no ages on certificate. Cheers. Got that printed.
