George Payne born at St John's Wood

[Lance Matthews]

Could some kind person help me find details for George Payne, born St John's Wood about 1874. His parents were George & Elsie. Think George senior was born in Yorkshire. Birth dates for George senior and his wife and locations would be very much appreciated. I know George junior died in 1920 and is buried in Otley, Yorks.

What record(s) have you taken this info from?
I cannot see 1881 (for example)

[Lance Matthews]

The original details come from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

[PaulineJ]

ok which record? There' 60-odd

is it this one, where his FATHER is George, no mother given, and his own WIFE is Elsie?

[Lance Matthews]

You are correct. My Error, Elsie was his wife, not his mother.

[PaulineJ]

Well, there's nothing to place a George Payne b 1874-ish St Johns wood in any census that I can see.
Nor can I see a "good" birth or baptism registration.

So unless you have some other information to add, I don't think  any progress can be made.

I have been through the BMD's , with no joy. I know the connection is Otley, however I cannot find the family link. Thank you for looking.

[PaulineJ]

the connection to what/who is "Otley" ?

[Lance Matthews]

The connection is Paynes born in Otley and following the numerous family lines throughout the country. They have a tradition of being buried in Otley, even when they have died in another county.
