Can anybody look up the baptism of George ADKINS born Q4 1897 in Tendring area of Essex, probably Clacton to establish if his parents were Ashley and Alice. He died in the same quarter, so his burial may have been at the same church.

Hello Linda
A George Adkins was buried at St John the Baptist, Great Clacton on the 15th November 1897, his age at death was two days.
Unfortunately no parents names are mentioned (findmypast.co.uk) but as Annie Dorothy (daur of Ashley & Alice) was born Mar qtr 1896 Tendring (includes Great Clacton) you have to assume that Ashley & Alice stand a very good chance of being the parents of George born Dec qtr 1897 Tendring.

Thankyou so much for that. :)
I have only just discovered 4 days ago that my Dad had another brother, due to the 1911 census saying my grandparents had 4 children and I only knew of 3, Dad, Ashley (junior) who died aged 16 and Annie Dorothy (my Aunt Dolly) No one ever mentioned a George! Both my parents are dead now, how I wish I'd started this family tree business when they were alive ::)
Anyway I have sent for his death certificate ( I see they have upped the price to £9.25p on GRO - outragous!) so I shall see what I can find from that, but as you say it is probably him - hope so at that price!!
Thanks again,
Linda

I now have the death certificate for George ADKINS he was born on 9th November 1897, died on 11th November and was buried 15th November at St John the Baptist, Great Clacton.
I wonder if anyone has any details of his baptism and also of his sister Annie Dorothy who was born on 19th January 1896 at Clacton
Thanks
Linda
