Melbourne, Victoria birth? Completed

[joppo1968]

I have discovered a relative that appears on the 1911 England Census, George Ernest Aldridge, born abt 1904, Melbourne, to Mother, Mildred Mary ALDRIDGE & unknown. He also has a sister on the same census, Muriel Mary Aldridge, b. abt 1906, Adelaide, SA. Mildred has married to a George Edwin SWAIN, b. 1866, Luton, Bedfordshire, England & these children are listed as his step children. Interestingly, there is another daughter, Gwendoline May Aldridge, b. 1902 Battle, Sussex, England.

Anyone shed any light on these Aussie kids?

Regards,

Mike.

Just some background info. Their mother, Mildred Mary ALDRIDGE, married George Swain in 1909, Norwich, Norfolk & prior to that, no other marriage for her. She appears on the 1901 England census at Worthing, Sussex as an unmarried Artist's Assistant.

I have found a George Ernest Aldridge, b. Jun 1905 - Norwich, Norfolk, which is where they lived in 1911. No joy with a Muriel Mary Aldridge birth in England. I can't see how between the birth of the eldest child in 1902, sussex, she had time to travel to Australia & back. Could she be covering her tracks because they may have been illegitimate?

I wonder if this could be his birth as he is noted as one year younger than Gwendoline May on the census .     I can't see either of them arriving in Victoria.  He is obviously Muriel Mary's father as his address in Feb 1905 at the court hearings is the same as Muriel's place of birth in May 1905.  Wonder if George was married previously.

Could this be George Edward's birth
