Hi Hotdog

This looks a possible for George - except that he's younger than the baptism  :o  So maybe that bap. is not him   :(

Well, I can't see that family in 1841 at the moment, but there is a George Carow b. 1837 Breage, living Breage in 1841 and 1851 with his parents George and Janifer/Jane.

Do you have George's marriage certificate?  That will give his father's name  :D

No Sorry do not have any certs for them at moment, many thanks for what you have been able to give me so far.

                               Regards Margaret

Margaret - you're welcome - but if you get that marriage certificate and find George's father's name, it might be not too difficult for us to find the family  :)

At the moment, the two families are nothing like proved!  Either one or neither could be him (unlike his wife   ;D )

THe GRO index for the marriage is  Vol 5c. Pg. 402 . Helson, Q4. 1859.

Or maybe some has access to the parish registers or can go to the Cornwall records office ?

marriage is on the Sithney opc's website. Richards family is the correct one, Francis was one of the witnesses. I think the other witness may be a parish witness, but not the parish clerk as he was Thomas Russell who appears on many a marriage, and is in my tree.  ;D
