1891 Census- George Arthur Roots born Sep 1890 Epping Register

[queenswood 1]

Looking to trace George in 1891 to establish his parents.
Have discovered him in the same Norfolk regiment as my grandfather (Charles Roots born 1890 Bethnal Green) during WW1- and would love to see if they are related!

If George can be trace in 1901 as well that would be great- but the 1891 census would be marvellous.

Many thanks

Thank you both so much! Wonderful- now I will see if I can find him in 1901 and track the parents marriage

Possible marriage fits with date of birth of the eldest child. George's birth certificate would confirm her maiden name.

John Edward Roots
Eliza Anne Rutter
Father:    John Roots
Marriage:    21 Mar 1882 - Harrow All Saints

Thank you- that is great! I have found George Roots with his parents now in 1911- and his marriage in 1915 to Helen M Brough. Just need to track him down now in 1901- strangely the only likely one at the moment is with parents George and Clara- in harrow - so right area but wrong parents- but my Roots family come from Suffolk and essex- and this George Roots was born in Stansfield in Suffolk but now living in Harrow- near the correct parents of George Arthur roots- so i am quietly working my way back through the lines to see if there is a link!
George Arthur Roots finally passed away in 1979 in Brent- what an age!
He must have been gutsy to have been awarded the Croix Du Guerre in WW1
