George Willan

[sillgen]

I am quite convinced that there are several families here not one George marrying three times.   Just looking at the 1841 census shows 7 George Willans in Westmorland.   George and Agness are living in Mitchel Gate, Kendal and have four children with them.   George is an Ag Lab.    What occupation does he have on the marriage certificate for Ann to William Huddlestone?  His date of birth seems to be around 1807 in Kirkby Lonsdale.

There are some trees on Ancestry but they are not correctly sourced and have some glaring errors.

Hi Westmorland

I have seen George on some of the census, some with wife Agnes :-)

[Gibby1968]

I queried George's age and marriage date with my family history tutor.

There was a time when boys could marry at that age so it's not impossible for him to start having children himself a year after the marriage.

I have just started looking at this family again and would love to sort it all out.  I thought I might have gone wrong with family as the dates didn't seem to add up
