Northumberland / Disappearing George Martin
« on: Saturday 08 April 17 14:47 BST (UK) »
I'm struggling to get anywhere on finding any information on my 2 X great grandfather, George Martin, born 1859.
Kindly rootschatters found the marriage between him and my 2 X great grandmother, Mary Dixon in 1880 at St Albans, Earsdon and that his father was given as James.
I thought that this would help me in hunting George down but sadly not. I have him living with Mary in 1881 in Blyth, occupation Boilersmith but then he disappears.
Mary remarries in 1890's but is living with her parents and children in 1891 in Blyth and is listed as Mary Martin and as married.
I can find another George in the 1901 census, living in Wallsend with an Alice Martin, his occupation is given as Boilersmith also but different year of birth, 1861. Looking at the children living with George and Alice I can't seem to find their births registered under Martin.
I'm wondering if this is the same George Martin and both he and Mary were living bigamously with other partners.
Anyone got any tips on trying to solve the mystery?
