George Postle 1847 Great Yarmouth

[James2you]

Hello,, I have the above as father to my Edgar Ernest C Postle, I have lost him and can not re trace George`s parents, I do not want to use anyone else`s tree because I did this once before and led down the wrong path. I thought George `s dad was a William but can not find him, All the Postle family members were born in the Great Yarmouth Area, can any one point me in the right direction.
Most of my old notes have gone and I`m not sure about William being George`s dad.

Thanks

John

If so this looks like the family in 1851 - odd about the name though

I thought John was looking for George's father?

[KGarrad]

I just wanted to confirm George was Edgar's father as John had "lost all his notes"?!
And also to confirm George's approx. year of birth.

Something odd going on here. There is no George Postle born 1847 but there is


Births Sep 1847   
PURCELL    George        Yarmouth    13   335

Marriage

 
Mary Ann Larn
Single
Marriage     27 Oct 1842
Yarmouth St Nicholas, Norfolk, England
Father:   Samuel Larn
Spouse:   William Purcell

[groom]

In 1861 Mary Ann describes herself as a widow.

There is this death

Deaths Sep 1854   
Postle    William        Yarmouth    4b   23

So between 1851 and 1854, William Purcell seems to have changed his name to William Postle.
