Nottinghamshire / George Everill
« on: Saturday 19 October 19 18:04 BST (UK) »
Hiya Rootchat! I have a big challenge for you.
So, my 4x Great Grandfather was called George Everill however after 1882, I have seemingly lost track of him. He was born illegitimately as George Everard Bennett as he was born before his parents married. Then his name ended up being George Everard Everill. His dad died soon after and his mother remarried by 1871.
George than for some reason came down to Bingham, Nottinghamshire and met and married who would become my 4 Great Grandmother Rebecca Smalley. They lived in Bingham until roughly 1882 where they moved to Nottingham and then after that he disappeared. He isn't on the census with his family from 1891 onwards. Rebecca still marked her marital status as Married until 1939 until she became Widow.
He was involved in criminal activities being arrested both in 1880 and 1882 and serving a combined sentence of 20 months in Nottingham Prison.
If anyone can find him on 1891, 1901 or 1911 census or when he died I would be most grateful! For easier viewing I shall summarize in bullet points what I know about him below.
Thank you!
