for 1891, I read it as 'Berks, Speen' for George Smith.

What makes you think the 1890 death in Newbury RD is your George?

1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Ballards, Addington, Croydon, Surrey, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
George Smith Head Married Male 64 1817 Labourer Sheen, Berkshire, England
Mary Smith Wife Married Female 52 1829 - Hampshire, England
Sarah Wicks Aunt Widow Female 78 1803 - Overton, Hampshire, England

George's place of birth perhaps should read Speen, which is a couple of miles from Newbury

Is this the 1891 census you refer to? For our info

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Selsdon Cottages, The Village, Addington, Croydon, Surrey, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
George Smith Head Married Male 75 1816 Agricultural labourer Lynn, Berkshire, England
Mary Smith Wife Married Female 69 1822 - Overton, Hampshire, England

Original does not say Lynn, but ? what it does say!!

I have a George Smith b1814 in Newbury, Berkshire. Brother of my 3xgreat grandfather.

On various census' I have him married to 'Mary Ann' from Dummer, Hampshire, and sometimes elsewhere....

In 1891 I have them living in Addington, Surrey.

I am trying to find her surname - there is a possibility that it is Cosens (March 1845 Marriage Alverstoke) but am unsure if this is the correct one

Also, I have a death for George in Newbury 1890, but in 1891 living in Addington
with Mary Ann !

Am very confused here.....

Any help most welcome.
