When was Isobel born though?  On the 1901 and 1911, Isobel and Elizas ages seem to have flipped around, and there is an Isobel Annie Price bn in Weobley dist in Dec qtr 1899, also I might be tempted to get the birth cert for Susan Lucy Price bn in Weobly reg dist in Mar qtr 1897

Aha
1891 shows how you got to James and Susan!

Also makes a previous marriage for George less likely, as he was single in 1891

RG12 2067 95 1
Hurstley Letton
James Price 86 gardener bn Stanton
Susan 84 bn Shrobdox?
Sarah 45 dtr unm
George 40 unm son farmer bn Kinnersley


Oh - good find spidermonkey. Looks like they got the girls names the wrong way round in 1901 !

Hi lizdb. Thanks for your help. I joined the 1911 census site and I paid the credits and downloaded a JPG file of both census returns. George does claim he's 51. He states he's a farm labourer and has been given the occupational code of 140 'Agricultural Labourers, Farm Servants - Not otherwise distinguished'. George Henry does seem to claim to be younger and younger at each census return. I can only assume that at his age by 1911, say in reality he's at least 66 years old, would he not lie about his age to keep his employment and have a roof over his head for his family? Or am I barking up the wrong tree thinking about ageist employers?

I think George Henry must have been quite illiterate as he seemed barely able to write his own signature, so perhaps that made him distrust those in authority and giving a true age?

You're correct, on granddad's birth certificate it does state Louisa Price formerly Vale. Thanks, I didn't know she'd been in service.

Thanks Spidermonkey, Isabel Annie Price was granddad's sister.

I also know that granddad's brother was Thomas Arthur Price born in the Oct qtr of 1905. He was killed, so the family story goes by a runaway horse, but however it happened he did die in his early 20's in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. I don't want to post too much on that as I plan to mention it in the Australian section and I've read the rules that you aren't allowed to double post?

As I understand the rules, you shouldn't post identical threads, but if you posted the story on the Australia board you should include a link back to this thread (and any other associated threads) just so people dont spend hours looking for info you already have!

You can have a gold star for being concientious and reading the rules!
Double posting about the same query is very annoying, as people can spend a lot of time looking something up only to find someone else has spent a lot of time looking the very same thing up on a different post.

But Thomas born 1905 and dying  in Australia shouldnt invlolve the same research (about his death anyway) as this thread, where we have been trying to find out where if any the George/Louisa marriage went to.
You can always link the threads - so when you do your one about Thomas in Australia you can say that census info on his parents etc has alreasdy been found on ... and then cut and paste the URL (is that what it is called? I am not very good technically, but the http:/www ...etc thingy) from this thread into it.
Then folk wont look waste theri time looking up all these same censuses etc that we have done on here. That is when it gets annoying!

As far as this thread goes, it really doesnt look as if Geirge and Louisa married, does it?
We can only suggest getting Isabel or Susan's birth cert to see what thatsays about Louisa, in case thee is a previous shortlived marriage for her, thus meaning she married George Price with a surname other than Vale.

[incidently, it looks like there was a Thomas A Price (Green Lane, Staunton on Wye)aged 24, who sailed to Freemantle from Southampton on 28th May 1930 on the Hobsons Bay.  Is this one yours?]

Yes, it is my great uncle Thomas! Thanks Spidermonkey.  :D

Thomas must have been killed in 1930/31 then, as I'm led to believe he was only in Australia for a few months before his death. Thank you very much Spidermonkey.

Thank you very much for all the help you've given lizdb and Spidermonkey. It's greatly appreciated.  :)

I must admit Spidermonkey has really got me thinking about whether they even got married in the first place. Was it a common practice?

If Louisa had been previously married/widowed would George's birth certificate have mentioned maiden name and widow's surname? Sorry, I'm just thinking out aloud. I think I shall need to get hold of one of my great aunts birth certificates. If they state the same as granddad's then I can probably assume that they weren't officially married.

Thanks again for all your help!

Best wishes,
