Name: George Frederick Lumb
Parish: Horbury, St Peter and St Leonard
Baptism Date: 16 May 1875

He was my uncle, I went to see him in Radnorshire in about 1965. My father was Harry's youngest brother Frederick Walter and was the last surviving, died 1999. Harry also had Nellie, we have been in touch on Genes Reunited. I would like to know more about my grandfather George Frederick Lumb, if anyone has any details - born 1875, died 1941.

Hi david,

I see her death on 1963 at the age of 43, so this looks likely to be her birth;

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Dec 1920 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hawkes Olwen M Hawker Bedwellty 11a 227


I presume that the mothers maiden name is Hawkes and not Hawker leaving me to think that her mother was unmarried.

David you need a marriage certificate for Olwen and Harry which will give you ages, fathers and occuptions then you can do some more searching.

This is probably the marriage:

Marriages Dec 1915

Lumb Harry Hawkes Todmorden 9a [65]00


on the scan of the image the page num appears to be 600 but you should check before ordering (£9 25 from GRO Southport)
