Chris - this all looks plausible and seems right to me! Thank you. There's stacks of info here that my dad didn't know or hasn't mentioned so it will make him very happy. I think I'll be trawling through graveyards in Peasedown now to see if there's a headstone for George Chivers! Can't tell you how thrilling it is to get your messages with more info about my family I had no idea about. I'm particularly intrigued about Daniel Cornick (spelling has changed over the years!) in the 1891 census where it put his employment as a jobbing carpenter in Howrak India - any idea how I can explore that more fully? Thanks again. Clare

Looking on google, Howrah, India, might fit the Birthplace...

Looks like you need 1882 Marriage Cert. to see details of his father (hopefully!).

Deaths Dec 1884 (>99%)

Cormack Elizabeth 63 Bath 5c 427

(perhaps his mother)

HI I'm looking for a George Tofts ? born in Chesterton Cambridgeshire christened on the 29/11/1784. He is the father of Benjamin Tofts who married Jane Williams. If you have any info about George or his wife please let me know. We think he was a greengrocer/ grocer/ florist . Geoff Ellam

Hello Geoffrey, you need to start a thread of your own rather than tagging onto somebody else's which has no connection to your family

If you go to the first page of Find Ancestors then there's a link "add topic" - use that. Before you do, it might be a good idea to read through the "help clinic" link (under Tools on the left).

Good luck.
