Find Ancestors

Thankyou again Reggie and Ann, just gone back over the info supplied, and it has helped out a lot:)
I have a picture of George in uniform, and I am trying to find out where and when he served and in which unit. Interested in the job description as a kitchen hand, and wondering if he was a cook in the army.
I have been trying to find all of his children, and perhaps find a distant cousin who can tell me more, and to get a timeline on when/if he served etc.
I think I have found his grandparents...
Thomas and Elizabeth.

There are TWO males and only ONE female on the page - one female is missing. That will be the lady to whom Henry was married

The marriage has not been included in the Parish records on Ancestry - so the cert is the only answer to finding the lady's names

GR are not currently notifying activity on 'watched' threads - haven't been for at least a week

The only way to confirm that you have picked on the 'right' deaths is to purchase the certs

There appears to be only 1 name I can find that married George's father...Mary Wright, June 1865, Kensington, again, some help please to confirm this.
Thanks

The only death I can find for Alice that fits in age wise is 1944, Essex S W.
The same with George, Essex S W 1942.
Can someone please confirm I have found the right ones.
Now to find the children.

Sorry, lost everything I had written in a reply...wondering if it's my computer or genes.
Great work thankyou Reggie, lost of info there I didn't have.
Yes, I am sorry, should have been clearer when I rewrote the opening comments, but back then I was looking for the marriage of Alice, and I didn't want anyone to read it and start looking again.
With a watched thread, email notification is sent when there is a response, so instead of me sitting here refreshing every few minutes, I can do real life things, and hear the emails :-D

Why would being unable to 'watch' this thread prevent you from responding promptly?

I'm assuming you've altered your first post - otherwise none of the earlier replies make any kind of sense.
