Hi

I have exhausted all informnation on a previous thread so am looking for some further help;

I am trying to find a certificate for George Henry White. Something that could confirm his identity. Sheffield registry office have nothing for me.

The following information is the start point, I believe this man (George Henry White)to be my Great Grandfather;

1911 Census - lived at 134 Station Road, Wallsend, Tyne & Wear (aged 39) Census info below;
George Henry White 39 b Sheffield
Charles William White 5 b Islington London
Violetta Harriet White 36 b St Pancras London (married 17 years, 1 child)

Charles William White was the first of 4 sons they had, he was born 25/11/1905
George Henry White was born in Wallsend on 26/08/1912
James Frederick White (my grandfather) was born in Wallsend on 22/02/1915
Albert White was born in Wallsend on 01/04/1919

The problem I have is that 2 of the brothers name their father as George Henry White on their subsequent marriage certificates, whilst the other 2 brothers name their father as George William White on their marriage certificates.

When the pressumed George Henry White married Violetta Harriet Horne in the Parish Church of St Pancras on 10/03/1895 he named his father as Henry John White (Deceased) and indeed signed his name on the marriage certificate as George Henry White.

I need to find a confirmed link to George Henry White and his father named as Henry John White.

It may be possible that George was born as George William White (which is the name mentioned on 2 of my ancestors marriage certificates) and took his fathers name as a mark of respect, making him George Henry White.... as I mentioned his father Henry John White is noted as deceased when George married in 1895.

It is proving an impossible task and I really need some help to confirm the right line here. Sheffield Registry office have nothing on any of the names I have mentioned and I am not sure how to look into parish records.

PLEASE HELP

Thank you

Gavin
