Tim, Milton Ambrose SEARLE had a brother George William SEARLE, G.W. was a witness to the marriage when he [Milton] married ELLIS in 1881, so George Reed SEARLE is not the brother of Milton unless two brothers named George. I loose track of George William aft 1881, there are so many George SEARLE'S abt. I thought he might have be the William George SEARLE who married in Toowoomba, Qld in 1901 but we have now sorted that and he is not the same person. That is not to say he is not another George SEARLE as they are quite abundant in Queensland, Australia as well. I really do not have access to American records as such and have done very little research over there other than to Google names. Seems I have my work cut out trying to find George Reed SEARLE. I do have a short extract of his Will from the Ancestry Index. His probate goes to Accountant Frederick Halsall which does not tell me a thing.
