I wonder if anyone can help me trace my great grandmothers brother? His name was George Askew born 1859 St. Pancras and married 1879 to Margaret Lewington. I have found him in the 1881 census living at Bart square middx but am not sure if I have the right person in 1901 as he is then living in Walthamstow but his place of birth seems wrong. His wife's name is right and one of his many children is called Augustus Henry which is the name of his two brothers. If someone could check 1891 for me it might make things clearer. Thanks Debbie

Thanks everyone, this means that the 1881 and 1901 details I have already got look good for the same person . I've just got to find out now why my great grandmother never mentioned that he existed to any of her children. There seem to be lots of unanswered questions in this family! Thanks again Debbie
