George Alexander Truss
« on: Tuesday 14 April 15 16:35 BST (UK) »
Trying to find the birth (or any info) on George Alexander Truss who I believe came from Great Marlow.  He was born approximately 1768. He went on to live in Chester, he was a coach maker, married Catherine and went on to have a large family. I have all the Chester info but need to find where and when he was born.
Any help please.

What's the source for the belief that he came from Great Marlow - and have you seen this 1767 baptism for an Alexander Truss, in case he took on the "George" later?

I have been given some old family papers and there is a note "originally came from Great Marlow".  I have seen the info you sent, I have no idea where or when he married Catherine. I have done a lot of research in the Chester record office which holds a lot of info on George and his family but nothing at all on his birth or marriage. He was a made a freeman of the city and he owned a coach making business. His sons also did well for themselves.
