Definitely, yes. I've just set up a public tree based on what we know so far about Gordon and Phyllis to see if possibly any of their relatives come forward with any info.

Possibly yes. My theory is that anyone on an ancestry site is obviously looking for answers. I think you have to be prepared that some of the responses will shock or surprise.

Just my theory  8)

What a fascinating story and helpful people! Hang in there, as bit by bit it unravels. My grey great grandfather's story took two years to unravel, with countless hours involved, and only because of the generous help of Rootschatters!! The family stories all proved to be true and I have gone back two more generations.
Good luck Tiki

I actually can't thank you guys enough for the help you've already given me in getting to this level. Sometimes it's the little snippets of info from you guys, from your experience of these things, that has helped. This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I've tried to seek my Grandfather's past, and it can be off putting when you feel ever avenue I seek is the wrong one.

I won't be deterred though.

Thanks you all so much  8) 8)

Is it possible to search for "colt breaker" as occupation on census? 
Worth a shot to see if a likely looking George pops up.

Still fiddling about with names trying to find a birth but no luck. 
If he did have a French mother could he have been born abroad  :-\
