Please could some kind person do a look up for George Groves born Bexley Heath 1855 (age on 1881 census) I am trying to find if he had any siblings and who his parents were.

Thanks for any help given.

Hi Kate

Thank you for info,  any idea of where Mary was born.   If I send for Georges birth certificate what is reg district, would it be Dartford ?   I have no idea how to post pic because I am not that far advanced with the Computer at the moment.   These are certainly family names passed down to all the sons .


Once again a very big thank you, this has got me a little further now.

Hi Lynn,

I try to transcribe exactly what is written on the census as I have made assumptions in the past that were invalid! So I wrote do do which means ditto to the previous line. Mary was born in Bexley Kent too.

The registration districts for Kent are here.

As you suspected, it's Dartford for Bexley. Have you checked the freebmd website for George's birth GRO index reference?

You may find some more information on the Kent links on my England web page.
