George William Graves
« on: Sunday 25 February 07 13:17 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm trying to locate my 2 x Gr Grandfather, but can't seem to find him!

George Willim Graves b. c 1872, Gedney Dyke.

I have him in 1881;
RG11, Peice 3209, F 91, Pg 5

And have located all his siblings births in the Birth Index, but I can't find him! All his siblings were born in the Holbeach registration district, and that covers Gedney. There is another George William Graves born in Lincolnshire around the same time, but thats in a different registration district, so I find it unlikely that it is him.

Something seems quite odd! Why can I find his siblings, and not him?

Also, I can't seem to locate him in 1891, he's not living at home, and he didn't marry until 1893, so where is he in 1891?

This family is a pain!  ;D

Paul.
