Hi everyone I'm trying to find George Chambers in the 1901 1881 George Graby abt 1831 Lincolnshire (Head) Eliza Graby 1834 Lincolnshire (wife) >>>George Chambers abt 1842 Lincolnshire (brother) St Mary le Wigford Lincoln 1891 (search only works under Gresham,but image says Chambers) >>>George Chambers abt 1842 Head Edward C Chambers abt 1890 (son) Again St Mary le Wigford Lincoln I can't find either George or Edward in the 1901,i have tried initials,christian names and variants on the surname. George was married at the time his wife and two other children visitors in another street,wife still down as married. Fresh ideas anyone? Thanks Glen

What were the names of his wife and other children? There's an Edward C aged 9 and Ernest G aged 11, both down as brother-in-law, living with Ernest and Elizabeth Moton in Lincoln. Are these George's children? RG13/3064 Registration district: Lincoln Sub-registration district: Lincoln Home ED, institution, or vessel: 45 Folio: 117 Page: 27 Can't check back as 1891 is not working on ancestry at the moment!

Hi folks The Ernest G mentioned isn't a known child at present. The details for Martha posted are correct,visitor to the Harley household. The three known children (all certs obtained) are as follows Frederick 27/01/1886 Edward Charles 30/08/1889 Lilly Louise 12/01/1888 Parents to the above are George Chambers/Martha Thorbon Chambers (nee Elmer) Marriage cert for George to Martha 02/03/1885 George quotes age as 42 and is a widow Martha quotes 30 and spinster (she born 1855 have cert) 1ST Marriage for George was to Ellen Broughton (c 1845 birth) It's Edward and George in the 1901 that have eluded me so far. Glen

To confirm Helen found the right Edward in 1901. Sister Elizabeth's marriage, also if you look at the image they are living next door to George W. Chambers, their brother. Surname First name(s) District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Sep 1899 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .........>Chambers Elizabeth Lincoln 7a 1054 Mackinder Mary Ellen Lincoln 7a 1054 ..........>Morton Ernest Lincoln 7a 1054 Pierce Thomas Lincoln 7a 1054 1901.

Clara Chambers abt 1874 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Wife St Swithin Lincolnshire Clara Chambers abt 1899 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Swithin Lincolnshire George William Chambers abt 1876 Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England Head St Swithin Lincolnshire

It might be that George died just before census night. Deaths Jun 1901 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chambers George 58 Lincoln 7a 285

On the 1901 with Edward and Ernest I think they may have got their ages the wrong way around. This looks like Ernests birth. Births Sep 1891 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAMBERS Ernest Graby Lincoln 7a 518

I'd just found the Graby name and wondered where it fits in. There's this death from NBI George Graby Chambers Abode St Mary le W,Newland St West Buried 02/04/1897 Age 4m Cemetery Lincoln, Canwick Road Plot A2594 So it must be a family name.......but the right family? Could this be a son for George William and Clara?

Nice work!! I worked out the line for Martha and all her Georges' (dad,uncles,cousins etc). I suppose i got 'Georged out' and kept getting thrown by the George W and the George Groby refernce. I'll have a bash for the death cert with the ref you found (both Lincoln and the GRO quoting mid June delivery though so who knows we might know one way or the other) Thanks for your help Glen

Here's the birth to go with the death Helen found. Births Dec 1896 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chambers George Graby Lincoln 7a 539

And his death is in the following quarter,i have ordered the birth cert,just to see how and why the Chambers/Graby connection occurs. Glen

Hi Helen I just re-read the thread and saw the burial details you posted,i'm away to Lincoln this weekend so i'll take a look. Maybe it will answer the question (even though the cert is on the way) Glen

Later but surely a member of the family? Walter Graby CHAMBERS Date 23 Sep 1920 Aged 14 Place Lincoln Description Canwick Road Cemetery Denomination Cemetery County code LIN

I notice the George Chambers(nephew) that was living with George Graby and wife Eliza(Chambers) in 1881 also gave some of his children the Graby name. The family were obviously very grateful to him for taking them in, also I notice they never had children of their own. Looks like this George is brother Joseph's son? Sure are a lot of George's! I have the same George problem with my Shemwell family, good job I have Shemwell as a surname though. 1901. Florence Graby Chambers abt 1899 Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire .........> George Henry Chambers abt 1879 Lincolnshire, England Head St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire Nellie Graby Chambers abt 1896 Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire Sarah Jane Chambers abt 1874 Billinghay, Lincolnshire, England Wife St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire Sarah Jane Chambers abt 1894 Lincolnshire, England Daughter St Mary le Wigford Lincolnshire

This all started because George Graby was witness to the Martha Elmer/George Chambers wedding! I think the best thing i can do is print the whole of St Mary Le Wigford from the 1901,then highlight where each one went visiting!!!!! The other witness was Jane Browning,and Martha's sister married a Browning!!!So many weddings connected to the one certificate in one way or another Thanks again Glen

Don't know if you already have this but here is the marriage for George Graby to Eliza Chambers, George Chambers sister.

No i didn't have that one,seems like trying to get rid of the George Graby from my thoughts was the total opposite to what was needed. Someone is definately on a roll this afternoon.LOL Glen

Try this for George overload then 1881 George Chambers abt 1844 Lincoln Brother George H.Chambers abt 1869 Lincoln nurse child George W Chambers abt 1876 Lincoln Nephew George Graby abt 1831 Lincoln Head Eliza Graby abt 1834 Lincoln Wife Joseph Chambers abt 1841 Brother 10 Moor st St Mary Le Wigford RG11/3240 Glen (now looking in the 51 for Eliza unmarried and possibly George abt 1844)

1851 This looks like Eliza and brother Joseph with a few other siblings. From the marriage certificate is George's father John?
