I am trying to find information on George MAW - my great great great grandfather and would be very grateful if anyone could give some clues to assist. I have been unable to find any references to his birth/Christening or parentage. Various census's shows his birthplace as Whitburn, Durham and working on the ages shown on the census's I'm estimating his year of birth at around 1814. He had a son, Thomas in 1842 in Stockton with an Ellen Waring. He and Ellen then had a daughter Jane in 1847 while residing in Derby. Ellen died shortly after the birth of Jane in 1847. The 1851 cenus shows he was in Lincolnshire in lodgings with son Thomas. Jane was in separate lodgings, also in Lincs. 1861 aged 47 born in Whitburn Durham Living in Brighton with Wife Mary 47, Son Thomas 18, Daughter Jane 14 1871 aged 56 born in Whitburn Durham living in Brighton with wife Mary 56 1881 aged 66 born in Sunderland. Living in Brighton workhouse. Wife Mary also there. He died in 1882 in Brighton Any help on George's parentage would be greatly appreciated.
