I'm trying to find information on George Curtis who was a soldier and I believe was based in or around Aldershot in 1891, but I cannot find any reference to him or his family. I wondered if anyone might be able to help me with this.
George Casteff? Curtis, b.1862 Cosford, Warwickshire
Mary Frances Curtis, nee Brown, year and place of birth not known, marriage took place on the Isle of Wight in 1888 (have marriage reference and marriage is noted in Curtis family bible)
Irene Frances (or Frances Irene), b.1889 Aldershot, Hampshire
George Herbert (or Herbert George), b.1890 Aldershot, Hampshire.
I have found George Snr in 1881 census, in barracks in Cumberland. In 1901 he was a Quartermaster sergeant at Royal Victoria Hospital, Hound, living with his second wife Gertrude (Caroline G M nee Greenwood) who he married in Salisbury in 1900 - they had 3 children: Stanley, born 1898 Netley, Hampshire; Doris, b 1901 Netley (died 1903) and Nora, b 1902.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find these people in 1891? If a soldier, would they still have to be registered on a census?
Any help would be gratefully received
Many thanks
Alison
