thank you for your reply The MC

I am aware of the hauntings.. my daughter and her partner currently run a resturant at the George Hotel and their staff have reported sightings, which is the reason for my research.  They too had heard rumours of somebody being killed during ww11 bombing.  However, the women seen is dressed in late 1800ss early 1900s clothing and so I believe that the bombing rumour is incorrect and am trying to prove it. (although there was damage to part of the Inn on 1st June 1943 from a bomb which hit nearby church Holy Trinity - but I cant find any deaths involed)

I did check out the civilian deaths and I too couldnt find anything relating to The George... so with a little more research I think that theory will be disproved - at least I hope I will..

Meanwhile, i have other leads, which I am following up....     

I think that breweries keep records???  but am trying to find out where I can obtain copies....  Does anybody know???

the brewery was Cobb & Co, and I believe Whitbread took them over in the mid 1900s.... 

You never know what a weekend worth of research may reveal... 

A big thank you again for your reply and big thank you to anybody else who has any information...

Hope you find some clues 

Hello everybody

thought you might be interested in the outcome of my George Daisy grave in Ramsgate Cemetery.

Thanet Crem emailed me back with dates for the grave:

George William Daisy was buried on 10th August 1949 aged 59 years old.

So by my calculations he is the one that Bearkat suggested in the 1901 census living with parents William & Caroline and possibly the birth that Devongirl found in thanet in 1891 Dec Q.

Therefore he is the brother of my great grandfather  and a bonified relation

Thank you all for your help.

As a matter of interest to anybody - there was also a small memorial plaque on the grave which read "In memory of George Daisy from the Barrow Boys" - a clue to his life do you think?

hello

Im looking for find if a George Daisy is in any of the census' and would be grateful if anybody gets a mo if they wouldnt mind having a peek at any census available to them.

You see I was lurking in the local cemetery looking for William & Caroline Daisy I knew the plot numbers, but looks like they must be unmarked coz I couldnt find them, but in the same area I did find a stone for George Daisy - but it didnt have any date!!

As it is the same surname and in the same area of the cemetery I feel sure there must be a connection..  so am investigating further.   I have emailed Thanet Crem in the hope that they can put a date to George Daisy's burial and then that may then lead on to further clues..

Anyway, any info out there will be gratefully received  Thanks so much

thank you for your replies, I really appreicate it..

at least I can give her a few pointers and yes I would love to visit mayo sometime - i have googled it in as suggested and it looks great

this may be a good idea for next summer for me and my friend to take a long weekend..  my own research goes to Cork and I've always left it on the backburner, but funny that I would be willing to visit ireland for somebody else.

thanks again for help- you guys are great
