Post by: R. D. Black on Wednesday 07 November 12 11:42 GMT (UK)

Searching for detail of George Pettifer who in 1901 census is living in Henley Union Workhouse.  Any detail about him would be appreciated.

The 1901 entry you refer to has George bn c1877 Henley upon Thames.

Is this the same George that you have been looking for in your other posts

The detail I have is in the 1891 census he is living with his aunt and uncle Eliza and Robert Godfrey in Fawley Buckinghamshire which is near Henley, on this census he is recorded as being born in Fawley about 1887 age four, ten years on in the 1901 census he is in the workhouse aged fourteen years.  Could the birth year date be incorrect? This is the same George I have been looking for in my previous posts. Will there be any detail recorded in the workhouse records?

I would suggest you contact the records office on this link to ascertain what if any records exist for Henley.
