Find Ancestors

Kevin, the only thing I can suggest is getting a copy of his death certificate to see what it says. I've had a look in the newspaper archives to see if there was a report but can't see anything. At the age of 93 it would be hard to say.

I'm still looking for clues as to why most census give his birthplace as Croydon when he was born Brighton, perhaps he lived there for a while when small and thought that's where he was born - most people then didn't have their birth certificates to check the details!

Annslow Matilda's birthplace also varies between Tunbridge Wells on census and Frant, Sussex on the baptism - I checked and they're actually only 3 miles apart so that's OK.

Anslow & George are my great great grandparents, their daughter also called Matilda Anslow is my great grandma & her daughter Doris is my gran. Almost all my grans family came from Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells or Tonbridge in Kent.
I really appreciate all the help being given. :) :) :)
