My maternal Great Grandfather was George William Starling who married lilian Louisa Orford in 1900.
My mother had a photo (well, ambrotype actually - on glass) which I now have, which was of her G G Grandmother - a French lady named Celementine Filis
I found the marriage of Clementine to Thomas William Starling easily and then found the Birth of George in Q1 1880.
All seems fine here, but as I delve down, inconsistencies start appearing...
1) The marriage of George William to Louisa Orford identified his father as George William not Thomas William
2) The baptism record identifies a Birth date of 15th December 1880 for George
3) The family Bible lists a Birth date of 14th November 1880 for George (though this was written by my Grandmother around the age 14, as the two youngest members of the family are not listed)
4) Between Q4 1880 and Q1 1881 there is only 1 George Starling registered - to Thomas and Clementine
5) The only father and son combination of George William & George William (in the London/Essex areas) has the younger registered as Q3 1880 which is too early
6)1901 census lists George with Thomas and Clementine and lists him as single
1901 also lists George (as William) living with Lilian Louisa next door to her parents
Based on my mothers and Grand mothers views, I believe this is the correct family line, but what are the odds that the marriage registrar wrote down the Grooms name under fathers name, Nan would get her dads birthday wrong and Thomas or Clementine forgot their son had been married 6 months (I can understand them listing him as living there, as there are multiple occurrences of the same thing throughout my tree)?
