George Cross
« on: Tuesday 30 May 17 21:19 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm trying to find out about George Cross (the person....not the medal!).
I know that he was born in 1753 in West Halton, North Lincolnshire,
I also know that at some time he got married to Jemima but that's all I do know.
If anyone could help me I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

I can't actually remember how I arrived at that one......
Why do you ask, do you think I have arrived at the wrong person? ??

 :) You could well be right, but the question is with a name like George Cross he could have been born anywhere other than Lincolnshire?
What do you know of Thomas?

Ann 53
William 28 (?  18)
James 13
Jane 10
John 6
Residing at Hatton, Horncastle

Oddly last column on original suggests born possibly Leicester?
