George Gotts - Norfolk

[horse]

Hi

Looking for George in 1841, mother and confirmation of birth/bap. also needed.

b. c1822 Norfolk, possibly East Ruston [1851 census] or Great Yarmouth [1871 census].

Father = George, taken from marriage details.

George married Mary Ann/Maryann Ellis in 1850. His occupation was mariner.

FreeREG has this:

Date Of Birth
Baptism Date 19 Aug 1821
Forename George
Father Forename George
Mother Forename Hannah

Hi Geoff,

Could this be George in 1841?? Sorry couldn't find a baptism for him. The reason I put the original on here, is because there is a Maryann Ellis on the other page

Many thanks for that, Elaine - I didn't have any of it.

Any info around that time is great, notwithstanding the social/historical value to me.

Hi Amanda

Many thanks

Thanks, Amanda..

Now that is interesting, a couple of trees have him marrying Mary Neave in the mid 1840's. His 1850 marriage to Mary Ann Ellis clearly has him as single, also occ. is mariner

There is this, but his father is George, so hopefully that theory can be discounted...

If he was still in the navy Geoff, I suppose he was at sea in the 1841 census. It's odd that there was a Marianne Ellis on the other page to this George Gotts, but she was a few years older than him, she was 30. and a couple of lines down was a James Ellis, suppose he could have been her husband

Thanks, Amanda.

Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to, more so after Elaine's find.

There are so many Gotts' in that area of Norfolk, George's father alone was one of about 10 siblings

Edit :- sorry, just repeating info you already have re Gotts - Neave marriage in 1842. Only extra I have is Mary's father was John Neave
