George Webster Bitton
« on: Tuesday 24 September 19 08:13 BST (UK) »
George Webster Bitton was born 30th Jul 1872. In the 1911 census he was living with his wife Margaret in Impington, Cambridge. She was 31 years of age (1880) and born Aberdeen.The record shows that they had been married for two years.
In (Dec) 1911 Margaret A Bitton birth was registered. (FreeBMD) mother given as " Leacey ".

In the 1881 census there is a Margaret Leacey living Aberdeen with her grand parents. In 1901 she is living in Birmingham. The electoral registers for Impington give her name as Margaret Eliza.

I cannot find a marriage record for George and Margaret OR, a birth record for Margaret. In 1939 her birth date was given as 7th October 1879.

Can anyone help?

Thank you for looking. Yes it was the 1901 record.

Thanks for the birth and marriage information. I guess both FindMyPast and FreeBMD don't have records for Scotland.

At least they married .... I was beginning to wonder.

Can you see what happened to their daughter, also Margaret?

Thanks again for your help.
