Have I added two and two and made five?

The only thing that doesn't match is the fact that George's father is described as 'soldier.' However, since Thomas died when George was so young, he may have not known his father's occupation.

Interesting to note the Romford connection.

Oh, does this mean you've found the church marriage record? Is his father Thomas, deceased? Maybe George just made an assumption, or gave his own occupation.

Only a transcription of FindMyPast, I'm afraid. No other information is given.

I feel what you really need to confirm this is the correct George is a transcription of the witnesses. However, I cannot find this online, so you may need to order a certificate.

Perhaps someone else may know of another resource for Essex?

Yes, but the witnesses may be people I've never heard of. Bit of a gamble sending for the cert.

I can't find Minnie as a Mitchell in 1911 or a Cox in 1921 in Essex even giving her a wide birth range. Nor can I find her with father John. She could be anywhere of course.

Hi.

 In Ancestry there is an Old Bailey case for
 George Thomas Cox soldier aged 26 August 1915 ... obtaining money by false pretences from Alfred Dye. Found not guilty and discharged.

 I haven't got a sub for find my last but the case is featured in the newspapers on there.

 Is it him??

Great find, Boo. Where did you get this information? I couldn't find it.

Crossed.

Thanks Boo. No, I don't know the witnesses. Crucially, the age for George is right, but electrical engineer is a bit of a stretch from motor mechanic (twice).

Now I have Minnie's age I can have a better look for her.
