Mary Miles (Nee Child )

[darren456]

Bream Church was an assumption on my part so perhaps married in Monmouth as son Harry born same year

[heywood]

1891 the child is George E
1901 the child is ‘Harry’
And I can’t see a birth for either 

[osprey]

baptism  30 May 1901 for George Miles, son of George, collier, & Mary at Lydney Primitive Methodist Church, residence Bream, date of birth noted as 13 March 1901.

Other baptisms to the couple in same church
Ethel born 26 June baptised 13 Aug 1891
Ellen born 12 May baptised 20 July 1893
Delcie born 12 Nov 1904, baptised 23 Feb 1905

From the Forest of Dean database.

Maybe he should not be George E but George H(arry/Henry) and born before they married

1891 has young George bn Westbury so that would tie in with the baptism

Have studied (and checked census) for the Ancestry tree referred to i.e. Mary A. Childs supposedly married to a Henry John Batt ca. 1894 (can't find) and census also confirms she was born around 1864/65  in Bream

Possibly because Henry already had a wife Annie and daughter Lillie/Lilian by 1881. By 1891 Annie is now Mrs Stone (but doesn't marry until 1892)  with Henry Batt, stepson in the household (Lilian with maternal grandparents) and in 1901 Lilian has joined them. All children have mmn coles
