Hello! I am trying to trace a George William MARTIN who died during the Boer War. He was the grandfather of a relative of mine. George William MARTIN was born about 1874 (20yrs old when he married 1894) He married Mary Ann McKIVER 1894 Darlington Durham. His father was a John MARTIN Labourer. Her father was a John McKIVER deceased. Doesn't help having all these Johns. I have searched the 1881 census and think George may have been born Hull. It seems to be the only one that fits anyway. Mary MvKIVER was also born about 1874. George and Mary MARTIN had children Beatrice, Fred, Mary and John Bernard Martin supposedly born 2 Nov 1900 Sunderland. John Bernard Martin's birth was on his marriage cert and also his Merchant Navy Papers. The mother, Mary remarried after George's death. (no idea of new married name) I have had no success in finding this family on the 1901 census. We don't know what order the children were born which doesn't help. Is there anyone who can help me find the family and also to discover any records from the Boer War. Thanking you, Judy Jones.
