Can't find a baptism on the IGI, doesn't appear to list Monmouthshire amongst it's options for county.

Marriage cert will give you his fathers name though.

Cheers Marg you have been hard at it ;;
Just had alll the certs out to check things ;;
on George'e marriage cert to my G Gran he has put father John Baker General Labourer, so how Howie came to give me this family I carnt remember properly I think it was to do with George saying he was 32 in 1885 making him b 1853 I got in touch with the place who deals with BC for pontypool and they said the cert I had was the only one in time range, and that was this family ???? thats what makes me wonder about it, so just feel I carnt claim them as mine yet ;;;
Does that sound right to you???

[Margaret in Burton]

No, something doesn't sound right.

When and where was your George born? (just noticed 1853)

Was he George Baker?

Do you have George on a census with his parents at all?

No Margaret dont have him on any census with hiss parents ;;he just appeared as lodger at my G G Grandparents and then married there daughter this is him on 1881

Babs, you have a thread about George Baker on Rootschat where you say that the George who was born in Trostery is still with parents William and Maria on the 1881 census when your George was in Middlesbrough, so that George isn't yours.

See #8 on this thread. 1881 is just William and Maria, no children at all.

Babs, did you ever buy George Baker's birth cert? I've just been looking at the TOGG thread for him and you never said if you got it or not.

Oh Pass was there a BC mentioned on that thread ;;;??? gosh I hope not cos if so no I never :::

Funnily enough, I was just about to post up the link to the George Baker TOGG thread:

I'm wondering where the name George William came from. He is only George on the marriage cert and only George on the 1881 census.

Was it just invented?

Should we be looking for George or George William?
