    Need some opinions please.

    As some of you know I have been tracing the Hinchliffe family from Huddersfield.
    James and Sarah with children Eliza, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Emma, Rhoda, Amelia, Mark, George and my Thomas.
    I've been through all of them individually but the youngest George born 1836 is still niggling me.

    I traced him all the way through to 1911 but on getting the marriage certificate he names his father as George when it should be James. Now being the youngest when his father died (he was 7 at most) is it plausible he didn't know or remember his name?

    Or is it simply I have the wrong chap! I have posted about George before trying to find other options but keep coming back to the one who marries Anne Cuckson in 1856. I thought I had another suspiscion it wasn't him but can't put my finger on what it was.

    Anyway cut a long post short how plausible do you think it is I do have the right one despite the incorrect fathers name?

    Thank you.

    Is the George you have traced through the census the one whose occupation is the Millwright?

    In 1851 he's a woolen finisher, 1851 work putterout, 1881 woollen overlooker, 1891 woolen designer, 1911 designer but his birthplace chops about between Scisset, Cumberworth, Huddersfield.

    Tourmie,

    Do you know who the family are living next door to George and Ann in 1861? They are all born Cumberworth so would logically be related to George. It would be a rare coincidence if he was living next to an unrelated family with the same surname. So may confirm you are following the right family.

    Hmmm I see what you mean about the people next door. It looks like the mother Eliza is a widow so she married a Hinchliffe and her birth name was Calverley.

    Now George did have a sister Eliza born the same year butttt she married a Taylor so that can't be her and I don't know those grandchildren.

    Oh dear. His mother remarried someone from Cumberworth and lived there plus some of his siblings were baptised there.

    Where did the bit about Georges parents being George and Ann come from please?

    Not looking good for it to be the George I want is it smiley - erm

    Yes of course thanks smiley - doh

    I wonder if it's worth taking a punt on another likely looking marriage?
    I can't see any with a father James, unfortunately the 1862 one to Jane isn't on there to show a fathers name, and there aren't that many other options for a George of the right age in the census. Hmmm.

    OK so if his parents are George and Ann I should be able to find him in 1841 and 1851 to rule him out.
    If he is nestled with them then he isn't my George who is nestled with his parents/mother for those years.

    1851 there is a George born Cumberworth 1836 father George but his wife is Elizabeth. Regardless of the mother/wifes name that could be the other George on the block.

    1841 not as helpful, there is a George with parents George and Elizabeth again smiley - erm

    I think it is the wrong one you know. First son is called George also.
    Begs the question what happened to my George after 1851?
