Title: Gess Family , Wardley st and Wandsworth
Post by: claire hill on Tuesday 15 August 17 20:19 BST (UK)

Hi,

Still very new to this so please bear with and hopefully I have put it in the correct place.

Searching for Michael Gess b circa 1830's,Sussex.Married Rachel Tice 1865 in Clapham. Trying to identify his Father,possibly a William Gess and which line of Gess family he came from.
I already have much information about Michael's life in crime and his time visiting at her Majesty's pleasure.
Thank you everyone.
Claire
