On my great Grandfather's wedding certificate, his occupation is that of Undertaker. He was living in Great Colmore Street, Birmingham. Can anyone find any information about him please. He married Clara Fanny Jackson on 7th April 1890 at the Parish Church of St. Thomas, Birmingham.

Alfred died in 1908 age 59,so poor George must have had a sad life.

A great big hank you to everyone for the information provided - it is official this is the best site I have ever visited! You all never fail to surprise me with the quickness and quality of information provided. THANK YOU.
I think George must have had a sad early life. He died in 1960 so I never knew him though my brothers and sister did. He was I believe a strict father (but was of an age where that was the norm). He joined the army as a young man and served in Africa. Family legend has it that he was on his way by ship back to England when he was diverted to France because of WW1. What makes a young man join the army, perhaps it was to escape his hard life in Birmingham.
Is there anyway to find out what George Daniel Dauncey's profession was?
