George Anthony - Confused !!

[howesd]

I have a problem and wondered if anyone may be able to assist with a look up in PR's -

I have a George Anthony, son of Ezekiel and Sarah nee Johnson baptised 30 July 1843 Leigh with Bransford - this has been fine until a descendant has appeared with a birth certificate of George Anthony - son of Ezekiel and Sarah Johnson, stating birthdate of 6th March 1848, of which no baptism record can be found - did the first George 1843 die young?  Ezekiel and Sarah had a child, Henry Richard Anthony baptised 27th March 1848 -  any look ups would be a great help on this one - just until a visit to the Record office can be arranged -   Thank you.

Confused !!

Thanks for the reassurance, I've got in a right old *tiss* with this, can't think straight - so would it be a mistake on the birth certificate do you think?  I don't know what to think?

In Free BMD there is a birth for a George Anthony reg March quarter 1848 Upton upon Severn 18 [53]41 is this the other George? Perhaps a different family.

Playing devil's advocate  if Ezekiel and Sarah had their son Henry Richard baptised on March 27th 1848 wouldn't they have had their new baby George (born 6th March 1848) done at the same time?

Just to confuse you further Henry Richard Anthony isn't with the family in that 1851 census given by lizdb and I can't see a death for him!!!

His death could be :

Ap/MAy/Jun 1849
Upton upon Severn
18 382

Henry Anthony

as I see his birth in 1848 was plain Henry with no middle name.

Though if they added the Richard at baptism then you'd have thought they would have used it when he died?

There is another George in 1851 census in Birmingham where new descendant traces his line from, the son of John and Ann born 1848 - I wonder if Bmd/? have it wrong --- just can't get my head round it at all - the fact that new descendant has the actual birth cert with Ezekiel and Sarah as parents - sorry if I sound dim !!!

[lizdb]

Have you SEEN this birth cert?

[howesd]

Yes, I've seen it -
