Team. My great Uncle George is proving to be another elusive relative.
I cant work out who he married. In June 1906 either Louisa Stephens or
Alice Ryder Yearsley.
I cant locate him on the 1911 census as this would answer the question.
I have checked every George Caldwell and variations on the 1911 censes.
I have checked both girls to see where they were born to narrow it down
I have checked for deaths of both girls using the Caldwell surname and
have found a Louisa and an Alice Caldwell....
I have checked BMD as well....

Any suggestions........

Have you checked out births after 1911 using both female surnames ?

John James Bourn is on 1911 with wife called Louisa so that rules that one out
