George MILLS baptised at Chatteris 7 Sept 1862 son of Samuel Thomas and Alice MILLS, cordwainer, born 16 Feb 1862

Marriage at Chatteris 27 Sept 1861 Simon MILLS 29 bachelor cordwainer son of Robert, tailor, and Alice CLARRIDGE spinster 21 dau of William, lab. Witnesses Joseph Edward CLARRIDGE and Robert MARTIN (who witnessed many marriages so was probably an official)

I can't see any other baptisms in Chatteris (perhaps they turned non-conformist)  but there are various later marriages of children of Simon or Thomas shoemaker (Thomas, Rose & Walter).  Shout if you want details.

Shows the danger of trying to do it all from the internet, without certificates or reference to parish registers. The marriage is on FreeBMD under Simon MILLS - the marriage is also thrown up by searching against "Mills" and "Alice"

Have certs for Marriage Simon Thomas Mills and Alice Clarridge above old query..and Walters birth cert as you suggested..

Now looking for any information On his Father Robert Mills and Mother, can't seem to find them on any census?
 Nothing to go on but information from Bedfordboy last post.
Any info and Help appreciated as always. ..Have all Marriage info on George, Rose, and Tom thanks..

Just noticed though you gave me bat details of George, but say his father's name is Samuel. ..must be the wrong George!!!

Yes looks like him, so not at home with parents in 61 then?
Have him on 71 census,
rg10 p1608 f69 page 8- but he's married then so no info on parrents..

Just can't find a Robert Mills on any 41 51 census..

Have to admit, I'm struggling with a Robert Mills

What are "bat details" which you say I gave you? He was a cordwainer not a cricketer

David

PS I've rechecked the transcript and you got what is there "Samuel Thomas". I'm just the messenger. It's up to you to do the interpretation

[baggsy]

Sorry David, it should have read, on the details that you gave me....also I didn't mean it to sound like I was criticizing you at all  , just checking that it wasn't a typo error...!

Should have known it was right as he seems to have several names..On cert he is down as Simon Thomas Mills occ Shoemaker?
Thanks for info and help both, back to the elusive Robert Mills now..

Hi Bagsey

This is the closest I can see

Robert Mills 30 Tailor  J  Born in county

Living at Main Street, Downham, Cambridgeshire

H0107/ 77/ 2
folio 8
page 11


Also in Downham Union Workhouse, is this bunch of kids
William Mills 10   born in county
Thomas  "     8            "
Charlotte  "  7             "
Edward    "   3            "

H0107/ 754/ 10
folio 40
page 4

I wonder if Roberts wife died, and as he was a tailor journeyman, he put the kids in the district union workhouse
