Hello Mike,
Thanks you for your reply, and also the look-ups, it's much appreciated. You could be right about William using the name George to distinguish him from his father. George could be his middle name. He is quite a brick wall for me, he is a direct line for my husband, and I'd love to find out who his parents were?
Would you know if perhaps his parents were holidaying, or on leave from the Army, and staying on Jersey for awhile, or for the birth. If George was born to parents who were on a passing ship, which docked for supplies say, and his mother gave birth on Jersey, would he be registered there, or possibly as a birth at sea? I'm not sure where to look next.
Thank you for your help. I'll make a note of that census of 1841/51, might come in handy later.
Cheers,
Jill, Brisbane.
