The Common Room / Re: Charlotte O'Bryan ( married George Ross ) can you help solve this mystery?

thank you all so much for your help- yes it was only the census that told me Georges dad was an engineer.
I know George died on 21st dec 1892 at the Bromsgrove workhouse - cause stated of renal dropsy.
Charlotte later went on to marry a George Wooding in 1914 at Upton upon severn.
I have attached a photo of their child Williams birth certificate ( born Warwick workhouse - incidently a few streets away from where I live- he is my great grandfather - this states the O'Bryan bit.

The Common Room / Charlotte O'Bryan ( married George Ross ) can you help solve this mystery?
« on: Tuesday 28 November 17 03:02 GMT (UK)  »
I'm wondering if anyone could help me with a family mystery?
My great great Grandmother Charlotte is someone who I can't seem to find before a certain point
She was a casual pauper ( tramp) supposedly married to George Ross who was born in Christian Malford Wiltshire - although I can not find any evidence for this.  They used to make their way around the casual workhouses in the midlands.  So in the census in 1881   I think they are in Tetbury  .
ON one census she gives her birth name as O'Bryan and the birthplace of Cork Ireland. ....... on another she says Cardiff around 1851.
Her husband (?) George ross is also a mystery . I know he came from a wealthy family and his dad was an engineer but have no idea about  where the parents were from or family further back .  How did he end up as a tramp???

I also know that they were both imprisoned in October 1886 at Gloucester prison for damaging property - mainly the windows of the Fish Inn Pub at near Broadway Tower !  I would appreciate any help that you could give me - I have been trying to find out more for years now but I am not very experienced at this sort of thing. 
thanks so much just for reading.
Julie
