There is a George J Fielder who died in Q1 1920. He died aged 30 making his dob around 1890. Again, have you any idea where he was born?
...
first marriage to george fielder 1917 paddington  dob 1/11/1889 born maybe marybone or marlebone !!! died 2/3/1920 newport

Sounds like the one I found. He died in Newport, Monmouthshire.

There are two George Fielders of about the right age born in Marylebone in the 1901 census. One of them is George J Fielder. This may be him, it seems to fit with what we have.

The census reference is:

RG13/Piece 97/Folio 112/Page 4

Do you have access to the 1901 census?

Paul


thanks , yes I do have access to 1901 census, would it be cheaper to reg. with some of the programs for a month ? would I get the info I need without buying lots of cert.?

cheers

Hi Beef,

Do you know where Alice Elizabeth Holden was born? We may be able to find her in census.

There is a George J Fielder who died in Q1 1920. He died aged 30 making his dob around 1890. Again, have you any idea where he was born?

The trick with buying certificates is choosing the one that will take you furthest. What you should look for is a marriage cert that is as early as possible, ideally of someone born before 1901. This way you have names of at least one child and both parents to look for and often two.

Good luck.

Paul

first marriage to george fielder 1917 paddington  dob 1/11/1889 born maybe marybone or marlebone !!! died 2/3/1920 newport
