Find Ancestors

Hi. Could anyone help please. My great grandfather was born in the Westminster district of London. I cannot find a birth for him as there are a few George Clements born 1846. I have got his army records and noticed he was born in St. Martins in the Field parish, Westminster. Does anyone have access to the church records . He was born as George William Clements in 1846. His father was also called George William and was a shopkeeper at the time. When I have looked at the census for 1851 and 1861 there are a few George Clements in the London area but none living in the Westminster area so do not know whether they are the right ones. I have him on the 1891 census and he says place of birth was Westminster. Thank you for any help.

There's this one but father was a cowman. Address was Hartwell St., Dalston. A brother Henry was baptized same day but no birth dates given.

As far as I know he was baptised at St. Martins church. Thank you for your help

Not all records are online.

Looks like he married in Ireland - not sure how much info is on Irish marriage certs

He is not the one shown wtih a mother Hannah in 1851 - he's still single in 1871

Hi ErikaH. He did marry in Ireland. He was in the Army there and met and married an Irish girl. I have their marriage details but it only gives his father's name and occupation.

He joined the Army in 1865 in London. I have his records. I just cannot go back any further.

army pensioner born 25/10/1847
goes on to say no record of birth can be found
unaware whether parents are still alive or that he has any relations who can attest to his age
not aware of any existence of baptism
