Who hid George and Fred DIX?

[Cas (stallc)]

Hi Arranroots,

Do not know if this will help but there is a George Dix and son George Samuel Dix in Pembroke in 1881, seem to match details of the 1891 you found. 

1881 - RG11 Piece 5411 Folio 89 Page 10

Queen Street Gershan Chapel, Pembroke St Mary

George Dix 32 lodger, fishmonger, Merthyr
George Samuel Dix 7 Merthyr 
Georgina Jenkins 18 
Elizabeth Wright 36

So it does!

I wonder if Elizabeth Wright is later Mrs DIX?  The Pembrokeshire connection bodes well, do you think?

The age for Geo Saml is also good for the Samuel jr we are looking for. talking nonsense here: it is Fred we are looking for, doh!

Thanks for that - my friend was anxious to keep you all up to date!

Cannot locate a marriage, although Freebmd is playing up.  Think there is a very good match between, 1881  and 1891 for Geo, Liz and Geo Jnr.

This George, seems to be Fred's father?  Possibly the parents split, and Fred is living elsewhere with surrogate parents, maybe under their name?  I cannot find trace like you.

If your friend gets this cert she can then prove/disprove that Catherine is his mother so know it is the right family on census

The other 2 people on the page are together on the 1891 census.

That's excelllent and has given us lots to work with - thanks both for your trouble! 

Now all I have to do is to persuade my friend that it is quite safe to join in the conversation 

We will keep you updated of any developments, but thanks again.

kind regards, Arranroots

Hello - I'm Arronroot's friend, finally persuaded to join in at this late stage, if only to say...a very big 'thank you' to everyone who has helped find George and Fred DIX, the latter is my Mother-in-law's grandfather.  She is coming to stay this weekend and will be delighted with all the facts we have found.  I now have copies of all the relevant censuses to show her.

This is my first post, so hope it is all correct....

Thank you again!

Best wishes,

Tuppney
