Ill go for the sibling Merry, one of them must turn up. Thanks everyone - STEVE, on to two large scoops of double choc chip icecream now.

the transcription is a mess. Catherine, Emma, George are all St Margaret's Westminster, and John is Hackney. But I can't blame Ancestry for Graves instead of Groves, because it does say Graves. There's a birth for Mary Ann Graves 1st qtr 1841 St Saviours, not quite spot-on but very close. And there are births for Emma Graves and George Graves in Westminster in the right years. Is it possible they went off Graves and changed their name?

Thats very kind of you. I cant find the siblings either - as you say, wonder if it were a name change? Have to think about this one.

found John as well. Catherine will be too early, so this is the set 1839 Apr-Jun Graves, Emma, Westminster 1 350 1841 Jan-Mar Graves, Mary Ann, St Saviours 4 501 1843 Jan-Mar Graves, George, Westminster 1 433 1847 Jan-Mar Graves, John, Hackney 3 184 IGI's got baptisms for a Thomas Edward and Matilda Mary who could be older siblings, looking at the ages there's room for some

How's it going 'H'? Any luck yet janey

PLEASE stop talking about food you have made me starving.I just love Baked Beans on Toast, have you tried the new ones with Branston ??? if you have not dont bother you cannot even taste it buy the plain ones and put your own in .Yummy

Blow me Robin, you have put a lot of effort in on my behalf, thanks very much. Incredibly kind of you! Do you really reckon this is that lot - dont they seem to play about with pob?? And never ever though of them changing their name. Which cert shall I go for?

Jane, I gave it a rest cos I fed up with them, but dear Robin seems to have taken over in my break! Val, I had some of the Heinz Mean Beanz the other night - er dont.

Heather are you saying I would be pleased I am not your neigbour at the moment then ???

I blame it on Rallphie Val. Wow Roger, the more I look at them, the more I am becoming convinced. Thats the first blatant name change Ive ever had! Right, I will try for the Mary Ann in Southwark as she is my direct ancestor. If it comes through, I kiss your feet! Many thanks indeed, I really appreciate you beavering away behind the scenes there.

Just to add my tuppence LOL going on what Merry reckons is on the census... Surrey St Georges ( on next line) Southwark there is actually a St George The Martyr church listed under Southwark on the find a church site....... but no details about it... And i know it won't hlep if you can't get there but LMa appear to have lots of records from ST George the martyr....... including.....
