I Know it's a bit much to ask but if anybody is in the area of Osmington, Weymouth, I could do with some info on George.
He was born to Samuel and Rachel Jones. IGI have the baptism 4th Jun 1826, father Samuel mother Rachel, but his naval records have him born 4th Jun 1827. George joined the Royal Navy on 28/3/1846 but I'm sure he left the area some time before then as father Samuel was a coastguard at Queenstown, Co. Cork in 1837, as such they're not on the 1841 census.
I've found two marriages for Samuel Jones to a Rachel, Edwards 7/3/1815 at Swansea and Powell 8/12/1814 at Brecon, but without Rachel's maiden name I'm stuck. It may be in the parish birth records of George or probably his siblings as he was born some time into the marriage. Samuel died in Cork on 12/10/1847 aged 69 so his birth was c1778. He may even have been a coastguard at Weymouth or Osmington.
I've looked online for Osmington births but it's of no help.
I do realise it is a lot to ask and understand if it's not possible.
Best Regards
Jim
