Good Day
I am very new into researching my family tree and would appreciate assistance in my search to find information regarding my Great-Grandfather Frederick Alfred Balfour.
The first reference I could trace of him is his marriage to Elizabeth Sarah Shepherd on 22 August 1874..Here his father is given as Alfred Balfour (Deceased)
I have been able to trace him in the England 1881, 1891 and 1901 Census.
During these years his birth year is given as 1854 and 1856 and birth place is Paris France (British Subject) in the 1881 and 1901 Census and as London City in the 1891 Census..
I cannot find any records referring to him before 1874 (his marriage) and cannot find any records referring to his father Alfred.
Please if anyone can give any advice I would appreciate it..I am really starting to believe that storks do deliver new borns.
