Is Horris.. George NELSON
« on: Monday 24 October 11 03:47 BST (UK) »
I have a brainteaser.. My grandmother had two brothers..George and Leslie Nelson..  Leslie was born Adelaide SA. .married Hazel Brown 1904.. He died .29 Oct. 1950 SA.
I can't find any records for George Nelson..but I did find a Horris Nelson..who was christened at St Mary Magdelene Church Adelaide..11 Jul. 1889 (F/S)
As I can't find either sons, is Horris, George..There does not appear to be any birth record on SA BDMs.. There was mention of George and Leslie on the mothers obituary notice.. can anyone help unravell this mystery.. ::) ;D

Hi Dalek39

What were the names of the parents of George & Leslie and could you please tell us the name of your Grandmother.
I can not find a marriage in 1904 for Hazel Brown in South australia..

Cheers Sue

Can you tell us the names of Leslie and George's parents please.
Did Leslie marry in SA?
The Christening record of Horris Nelson - did that have parents names?

Regards,
Sashar

I'm not sure that much more can be done.
Clutching at straws there was a Horace George NELSON b. 21.11.1894 at Marleston to a William Henry NELSON and Elizabeth MIDDLETON.
He is the only child that I can see born to this couple but of course not delving into their background they may have migrated with children and this was the only child born here.
Did James NELSON, have a brother William Henry?   Something may have happened to leave this Horace George an orphan and your James and Mary then took him into their family.
Just airing some ideas.   I've had that happen several times in my family around the same era.

Sorry I can't be of more help,
Sashar
