Hi, Have been away,
This method of threads is new to me so please be patient.
I think the long shot is a no go as I can account for him from 1878 till his death in 1936.
My concern is from his supposed birth at Ashbourne in 1855 until 1878. Two censuses with not record.
I also think Crich is out of the running although there appears to be a George Richards & Hannah Bunting born Crich in the 1851 census at Ashbourne, he being a FWK. Not a labourer as shown on Georges marriage cert. I cannot see him calling his father a labourer when he was a FWK.
Going back to Ashbourne, there are around 30 parishes within a radius of Ashbourne an possibly some non conformists chapels in those.
At this time I am trawling the 1871 Staffordshire census in the areas around the Staffs / Derby borders to see if anyting has been missed.
Rod.
