Bum! 

Saying that I have just noticed that there is also a baptism 4.10.1863 at St Marks parents John and Senca? he's a manufacturer but cant find George or this couple on the census

Hey Willow 

Sorry I couldn't cue you in sooner, we had several b-days this past week. George is actually listed as an 8-year old scholar living with father John at 18 Sweetman Str. during the 1871 census. So I'm sorry to say that all this work you're doing is for naught

What still miffs me is the fact that on his merchant navy service papers it says that his parents are married. If they were, why can't we find the proof?! Unless George fibbed, but I'm not sure that was possible on these types of papers.

So this might be his baptism and Maria is spelt wrong?

Ignore that I found the couple in a later census

Ugh ... those Haycocks 
I just spoke with the General Registrars Office to try and find out where my father died. My uncle called in December 2011 but as the whole family had a falling out with each other, he couldn't even tell me where and when he died exactly. Just November 2011. Not registered in Hounslow (where he used to live) so possibly taken into care by his sister who - take a wild guess - doesn't even want to talk to me. Me being the "little skeleton in the closet" and all that *wicked grin*

Anyways, I now have to place an order to get his exact DoD. Pfff ... and people call me difficult! 

I am going to try and harass some other family members to see whether they can help steer us in the right direction. After all those years I am not giving up on George!

I dont blame you! I just wonder why he wasnt registered 

I did wonder if he was a child of Sophia's and brought up as her brother but she would have only been 13 at the time

I don't get it either. I mean, assuming (dangerous but still) that he didn't lie on his papers, then he was born in W'hampton on 24 december 1862. And on those service records it clearly states the name of his mother, Maria.

Add all that together and one should be able to find something ...

Exactly!
