George STOUT b 1842

[chelmick65]

Hi I am trying to find out information about my Great Grandfather in Liverpool
He was born in Stronsay Orkney Isles and moved to Liverpool to work there, I have found him in 1911 census as a boarder in his son-in-laws house with 2 of his other daughters but then no trace but he is known to have live with a daughter in Liverpool for a while but does not show on the 1939 register!

Any help or guidance very welcome

He had probably passed away by 1939 or he would be a grand age of 97! 

Have you looked for a death for him?

There's a death in Birkenhead 1934 - birth year only a couple of years out at 1844.

What were the names of his daughters?  I take it he was widowed?

The Birkenhead death names Ellen Leigh wife of Thomas and Emma Gilbert widow if those names mean anything.

Hi - thank you but I have looked at this and had discarded it! - hopefully correctly!

His daughters were Mary Jane b 1890, married to Alfred George NELSON, Ellen b 1863 married to Francis Henry OWEN (my grand parents), and 4 sons

So still consider this George is not him

Thanks

Why do say George was born in Orkney please. All the censuses from 1881 to 1911 say born Liverpool/Everton

All the children have mmn as Davies

according to the 1871 census Charles Davies was deceased, mother Mary described as widowed. Living at 10a Arkwright Street, though could not find George at no 6

Hi - yes I have traced him back to Fair Isle and the STOUT family back to approx. 1700 Thomas STOUT as a school teacher who moved to Fair Isle (and there are still a few STOUTs on the island today) - even though in 1862 there was an organised emigration to New Brunswick in Canada when 137 people left the Island in one day - 50 were born STOUTs

Do you know where she is buried?  They could be buried together or there is a mention of him. 

I suppose he could even have gone back to where he was born and died there
