Title: George HAMLEY
Post by: hamleyseeker on Saturday 02 January 21 16:28 GMT (UK)

I am seeking the death of George Hamley; born c. 1756 Tavistock, Devon; (no clear evidence  of birth; possibly even Cornwall) married Ann Rundell also in Tavistock 1784; 6 children all in Tavistock 1785-1799. Ann  died in 1847 'widow of George Hamley Accountant' in Clifton, Gloucestershire. Family links to Clifton & Pip'nJay; also Bedminster, Somerset. There are now many Hamley descendants in Bristol.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my request.

According to gro that George was only aged 1 (one) when he died.

Emeltom - unfortunately GRO show that the 1849 burial of George was aged 1 year. 

I think that George Hamley born 1756 must have died prior to 1847 - Ann described as widow.

Added:  GRO say that Ann is aged 85 - March quarter, Clifton Union Registration District.

I really must get my act together before posting a reply. Sorry about that.

Don't worry about it - we've all done it (I've done it more than once).  :)

Thank you. I should have said that I always check GRO for ages; I have searched FindMyPast, Ancestry, The Genealogust, Free BMD, FreeReg; I also ignore deaths post 1847.
George’s son, also George was a Customs Officer in Bristol; his son John (2x great grandfather) was born in Bristol 1827.
I’m like “a dog with a bone”!

Hi Trish
I'm struggling with TNA: Wills & Probate  - I know I found the Will a few days ago and hoped I'd asked to download it. I've hear nothing (perhaps I just too impatient) and now I can't even locate the Will. Very frustrating!
Thanks again
Veronica

I've never actually downloaded a Will just saw that one on Anc.

Good luck, try again :)
