    3. Hello Everyone, I am trying to find out about children born to George Ancel and Hannah Walker who were married at Windsor in 1832. To date I have been unable to find any BDM references, but a Hannah Ancel in 1860 & 1863 with the birth of two sons mentions she was born in Windsor. Again this was advised when she married Roland Hughes in Wollongong in 1863, where she had been living for the past 4 years. Hannah gave her age as 22 years. The 1841 census showed that George was living both at George Street Windsor and Crown Street Wollongong a most remarkable man - may be the census was not conducted on one night. George Ancel was in partnership with a person called Hemmings as Butchers - unfortunately they became insolvent in 1842. George was back in Windsor in 1846 as he was an executer to a will at this time and mentioned as living at Windsor. The minutes of the Windsor Road Trust, mention that his accounts from his store were passed for payment from 1850 - 1853. George was involved in the Benevolent Society for 11 years from 1854 - 1864 of which he was Treasurer for 9. In 1860 George was on the committee for the Mechanical Literary Society. His activities show that George must have been a fairly educated man for his era, he was a currency lad, born circa 1806. I feel that educating his children would be important to him. My round about question is, what schools were in or around Windsor from 1832 - 1842 and does the Windsor Library hold any of the school rolls. If not do I make a journey to Kingswood or Globe street to the State Archives or does S.A.G. have copies of the rolls. Thanking you in advance. Oh BTW George Ancel died in 1864 at Windsor and is buried at St Matthews C/E ANNE
