George Henry Trott b 1852, Bristol, m Lucy Farmer, b 1855 in Cotleigh. They had 2 children..George Trott 1889, Bristol and Violet Trott b 1898 Bristol.
Rhoda Trott b 1855, Bristol, still single on the 1901 census living in Western-super Mare,
Again like yourself obtained this knowledge from BMDs and census and contacts from this board, and slowly building up certificates when I can afford it.
Reference to James might be worth me getting a marriage certificate for him to see if he married Emma or Mary Ann?
