Henry Tabb Honey married Janie Prior (b c1878 from 1911 census) in Dec qtr 1903 Vol 5c Page 171

Gregory Honey married either Mary L Murton or Melita Bate in Dec qtr 1912 (same time as George?)  at Bodmin Vol 5c Page 140

I thinkk that Gregory Honey actually married Melita Bate. There are a number of births for Honey children with mother's surname Bate, in Bodmin.

Oops 

I found a Mary Honey but no Melita Honey in the 1911 census. I'll update my post until we get confirmation.

Bit More,

We know the name of the ship was Gothic, and departing London Dec 1912, with the newly married couple George and Ann HONEY on board.  Perhaps as several of the other Fromelles- missing - lads may have been part of various emigration plans, would there be archives at KEW that may have genie information about George or his wife's family and possible emigration scheme?

Just Moi.

Hi All,

We don't seem to have advanced any further on this lad, George Honey fallen at Fromelles in July 1916.   Just wondering if we are overlooking something obvious perhaps?  Any suggestions please.

Pleased to report that the family of George Honey in Cornwall have been found.
They will be able to provide DNA if needed for identification.
