Hi Cheryl, No problems finding George,he married in 1876 moved to Bristol,his son was my Grandfather,Sister Ellen married a James Peddle and moved to Bristol,she was the mother of my Grandmother(first Cousins Married) My George was born in Burton on trent and died in Street Somerset. It`s Charles who is the elusive one!!!!!! not a trace after 1871 Census not on family marriage certs thought he might have been BESTMAN to his brother at least. Thanks for your searching/,coincidently the Swindon George also married a Fanny small world.
