Actually I just found out that the children the children were born between 1900 and 1917. George Oliver married Rosa Oliver 1944 in barnstaple. George was my father and he was born in 1917.

Im dont think thats right because George was the oldest of the three children and was born in 1917. Sorry that you hit a dead end.

Marriage
George H Oliver
Clara M Harris
Liskeard 5c 98
Mar Q 1918

Could he have changed his name around and Clara been known by her second name?

From your original post:

"After the birth of his third son George Oliver, he mysteriously dissapered."

Julie, you said that the births that I posted, Guy 1919 and Joan 1922 couldn't be yours because George was the oldest and was born 1917???

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 15:05

I did. Guy and Joan were born between 1900 and 1916. George was born in 1917. 1922 and 1919 were NOT to do with there births. So if you did find these then they were not from my family tree. :-D

Julie, you started your post by saying that you were trying to find your ancestor Herbert George Oliver born c1879 Truro. were you actually told that this was the name of your grandfather? or what led you to believe that this was his name and approx date of birth?

Julie

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 15:08

I found his year of birth online and his name WAS Herbert George Oliver. :-D

Kayak Report 16 Aug 2011 15:10

Julie, we need to ask questions to help provide leads, something doesn't add up here so perhaps we could side step
Do you know if Joan or Guy had middle names?
Do you know if your dad's brother or sister have passed away? if so when?
we can then check from their death records their birth year
Did his siter Joan marry and if so who to?

Julie Report 16 Aug 2011 15:25

But your exact words were:

"Im dont think thats right because George was the oldest of the three children and was born in 1917"

Julie, maybe his name was Herbert George Oliver but he was not that one born in 1879 in Truro because that one died 1879 in Truro.

MargaretM Report 16 Aug 2011 15:34

Well, now you're saying that Guy and Joan were born before him so how could he be the oldest child?
