George Osborn - Bromley, Kent

[Atlanta1]

Hello,
I am looking for information on the ancestors of Bertram P Osborn b. 1879 son of George Osborn b. 1836 and Mary A (?).  Wondering who George's parents were - and the maiden name of his wife - cant find George on the 1841 Census.  I know they came from Bromley, Kent. 
Any information would be great
thank you

One step at a time!

You can find MAry's maiden name from Bertrams birth cert.

Hopefully that will lead you to George and Mary's marriage - and that cert will give you George's fathers name and occupation.
As George was born pre 1837, i t will be a case of searching parish records for a christening. With a place of birth from the censuses (have you found the family in 1881 which is free to search as a starting point?Though best to find on all to see if consistant with yr and pob) and a fathers name, you will have more chance of finding the right record.

Some Kent PR's are online on the cityark site, sorry not got full address to hand, but it will come up on a search. Dont know if this covers Bromley

OK got it

eldest child with them then is 22, so marriage will be a while back from there.

Have you found (or looked) for the family in 1881?

I see a duplicate thread asking about Bertram's ancestors here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,439719.msg3030273.html#msg3030273
but as there are no replies there it is best if we continue on this one

Do you have him in 1851 where he's an apprentice (transcribed as age 10 though, but looks like 16 to me) Hes described as "relative" to George and Ann Downard and family in Plymouth

hi,
thank you - to be honest I can only find Bertram  in the 1901 when he is married to a Mabel (born St Johns London 1888?)with a son named bertram aged 28 months in what I think is Park Cottage Bromley.

Cant find any more information on him esp. his ancestors?

I am a direct Osborn decendant of William Osborn b.1815 bromley m. Martha Burrows - know they fit in somewhere, but where?
