Hi,
Thanks so much for answering us. We're still looking for George and waiting and waiting... sometimes it seems a milion miles away, but we know it's only a case of getting that one piece of illusive information that will help.
We do have George's marriage certificate. It has nothing at all on it other than the Kent, England. His wife's entry was just as bad, but thankfully we already knew about her!
We've looked at the naming of the children and tried possibilities. The only family that we can totally fit George and Mary's children into is one we found on the LDS site that has George as being born abt 1842 to Jane Simpson who then married Thomas Jeffs (George's father). The names actually fit perfectly but!!!!!! they're not in Kent! So the hunt goes on. I'll put George and Mary's family below, who knows, the names may help someone recognise him.
Thanks again,
Leeona and Bill
