Hi Pete - George Robert Darrington born 1865 is right and he was also known as Robert George Darrington and he is the one who married Catherine hand. I have seen the muddle of the baptism; someone has confused 26/1/65 with 26/11/65 at some time, so you would need to look that up in Roxton PRs. Parents were Samuel and Elizabeth Possibly George Robert "became" Robert George to avoid confusion with George Darrington born 1859 at Roxton which is the one married to Hannah Covington and died early. Parents were Cornelius John Darrington and Sarah I have only recently found a family link to the Darringtons myself Peter Jarman -----Original Message----- From: bedford-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bedford-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of PETE BARKER Sent: 12 December 2009 15:49 To: bedford@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BDF] Darrington Puzzle Hi List, I have a puzzle, I have a George Robert DARRINGTON born in Mar Qtr 1865 in the Bedford District and his Baptism on 26 Jan 1865 and on 26 Nov 1865 both in Roxton Bedfordshire to the right parents, Samuel and Elizabeth. I also have him on the 1871 census and a marriage for him to Hannah COVINGTON in Bedford 1883. He is with her in 1891 but died by 1901. The other part is that I have a Robert George DARRINGTON who was supposedly born in 1865, I have him on the 1891 census in Wyboston married to Catherine Hand in St Neots in 1884. Robert I have in 1911 living with Catherine still in Wyboston. I cannot trace a death for George or a birth for Robert or any more census than I have. I would be grateful for any suggestions or help in this, I have a suspicion that they are the same person except that they both appear in the 1891 census. Sorry for the long post, looking forward to any replies. Regards Pete.
