I wonder if that's who my mum was brought up with . Emily Bennett and George Bennett when Jane Follett remarried to a John C Gilson in 1928 ,Emily and George were brought up by someone else who they called grandma . I do know Jane was not a well lady . This is what i was told by my late mother

Hi again, so pleased for you that the George Follett problem has been solved.
Emily Blackwell is still alive in 1939 Adwick-le-Street her son Isaac Blackwell is married and at address shown on CWGC site for George, Fanny Blackwell married a Joynes Dec 1921 Doncaster.
Still would like to locate Emily Williams prior to marriage?

Looks like there was at least one further child:

George Follett, mother’s maiden name Williams, Sep qtr 1896 Stoke on Trent 6b 213.

Baptised 12 July 1896 at Shelton, Hanley, Staffs.

Parents: George Henry (mechanic) & Emily, of 6 Castle St.

Thank you you have solved George Follett for me . His name is on the war plaque at Woodlands Church Doncaster . I have asked my relations if the knew who the George Follett was but no one knew . My mum told me years ago when we were at a wedding there he was a relation but i couldn't remember who it was . Thank you

Hi , would i need to purchase his death certificate to find what or how he died .

By all means, but I would wish to find out why Emily showed the name of a father in 1888, but a "Stroke/Line" against father in 1897?

Yes so would I . I wish i had started this family tree when my mum was living she might have been able to fill me in .I know very little about her family , my grandparents on my mums side both died young .
