Hi Laura,

Hi Laura,
I don't see George but there is a Zebedee as hepburn mentioned
WEEKS Zebedee born Jun 1/4 1855 Redruth 5c 293
RG10/2531 Folio 31 Page 26
20 Earl St
Bristol St James
WEEKS Joseph Head 51 Mar b Redruth Labourer
WEEKS Caroline Wife 48 Mar b Truro
WEEKS Joseph Son 20 Unm b US N America Buffalo City Plumber, Gas Fitter and Painter
WEEKS Zebedee Son 16 b Redruth Errand Boy
This looks like marriage
WEEKS Joseph = PARNELL Caroline Dec 1/4 1848 Truro 5c 363
I don't see this family in other censuses although in 1881 son Joseph is in Bristol St Philip and Jacob Out aged 29 British Subject b United States, a house painter. In 1891 he is a Publican and Painter (Joseph P b Buffalo US) I don't see them in US census either. I would have liked to see if son was just Zebedee as your man is George after marriage, and no Joseph or Caroline among the children. (Although looks like Albert was Albert Joseph and Elsie was Elsie Caroline) It would be best to get the marriage cert to see what his fathers name is.
WEEKS George Zebedee P = probably HOBBS Annie Ellen although there is also Ann RAKE - (I note his wife is Annie) East Stonehouse Jun 1/4 1879 5b 555
May be of interest that there is the death of
WEEKS Joseph aged 56 East Stonehouse Mar 1/4 1876 5b 238
Plenty of Weeks in East Stonehouse but I don't see a Joseph to fit this death in 1871 census.
Joseph WEEKS 2 Jan 1820 was the son of Zebedee WEEKS and Ann/Nancy LAWRANCE who married 26 Dec 1818 Redruth St Uny
Caroline Martha Traher PARNEL 28 Dec 1820 Truro was the daughter of Samuel PARNELL and Elizabeth TRAYER who married 3 Nov 1808 Truro St Clement

Kris & Hepburn,
Wow, thanks for all that work, how kind of you.
I have a feeling that I ruled out the Zebedee Weeks born 1855 a while ago, based on later records, but I must check him again in case I was mistaken, because he is the best prospect by far. George Zebedee did marry Annie Hobbs - they are mentioned in a family bible.
I had not noticed the US connection before, which is very interesting. They must have emigrated and then changed their minds - not an easy option then I would imagine.
Thanks again for all that.
Laura

On census records he consistently says that he was born in Redruth about 1856. Thorough searching of ancestry.com's BMD records has not found him. IGI doesn't have him. It is possible that he was mistaken in thinking that he was born in Redruth, but I think he was born in Cornwall. Does anyone have the parish records for Redruth? It would be useful to rule it out if nothing else. Thanks in advance for any help.
