I wonder if anyone can solve my puzzle about my great, great, grandfather, James Beer.
I have traced him back from the 1901 census aged 41 living in Staveley Derbyshire with his wife Martha ( Churm ) and family, Fanny,George, James, Maud, Elsie and Lucy. It says he was born in Cornwall,Horn, Lincolnshire, England.
In 1891 it says he was born Morbal, Cornwall, and they had a Robert Chura age 55 living with them.
He married Martha Churm on Jan.11th 1886 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. ( free bmd )
In 1881 he is James Beer from Linkinhorne, and the family must have moved about as his sister was born in Stravon,Scotland.
In 1871 he appears as James Gam Beer from Linkinhorne.
In 1861 he is James Gumbe Beer.
Is this the same person, and was his father George Beer, born in 1835 in Calstock, or someone called Gumbe, or Gam?
Did George adopt James?
Any help is much appreciated,
Anne.

HI Tati,
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I feel such a fool for not looking up the marriage, but I am still feeling my way round, it's all new and confusing sometimes.
I don't always find what I'm looking for, or the results are contradicting.
Can I ask something else please?
Is the George Beer on the 1841 census born in Devon in 1835, his father.
I thought I had traced him but got to this census with one hundred names on, and what looks like some institution, I can't read, and I came to a standstill.
Anne

Hi Merryhow,
Thanks for your reply, I didn't know anything else about Mary, only what I found on the 1881 census.
I'm afraid I got carried away looking for James, I forgot about anyone else, till now.
I will be looking further into the family, now I have found the right people.
thanks again, Anne.

That's great, more than I ever expected to find.
Thanks to everyone for your replies and help.
It was the different ages of George that confused me, as Tati said.
I have recently paid a years subscription on ancestry.
I wish now I had paid for the premium and had access to more records.
It may have helped me to sort it out for myself, but then I would not have had the chance to ask such nice people as yourselves for help.
Thanks to Tati and Fizzybubble for taking me back to 1814.
I would never have got there without you. BIG SMILE.
Anne.

That is BRILLIANT. My mothers surviving family will be over the moon, to know all this history.
Mum died of cancer when I was 15, she was 38.
Her mum died 1985, age 76. I think she had dementia.
Her dad died 1989, age 78.
My dad George Henry Siddall died in 2005, though I only found this out in March this year.
That is what set me on this journey.
I have traced the Siddall's back to 1760, and thought I'd try the Beer's.
The Siddall's were easier to find.
Thanks again, Anne.
