    1. [FoD] GEORGE in Bream
    2. Hello all Didn't know Bream was also part of the Forest of Dean! In that case I have a query on another branch of the family. I have an Evangeline Eliza GEORGE who was born c1855 in Bream according to the 1881 Census. There is an Evangeline Eliza baptised in Ludlow, Shropshire in 1864, with no father and mother is named as Caroline GEORGE. I know that is a late baptism but the combination of names is unusual so I lean towards that being her. Also there is a Sarah Ann GEORGE baptised in 1868 in Newport Workhouse, Monmouth also to a single mother named Caroline, and Evangeline married in Newport in 1875 in the Baptist Chapel. So I believe that Sarah and Evangeline were sisters. The age Evangeline gives on her marriage certificate is consistent with her being the Evangeline born in 1855. However, on Evangeline's marriage certificate she names her father as William GEORGE, miner. 1) Is it likely that William was her father or would she have made him up to save face? 2) Is anyone else researching the name GEORGE and know anything of this Caroline? 3) Where do you suggest I go from here? Thanks to all, and for any with a touch of the Irish, Happy St Patrick's Day! Regards Samantha in Melbourne, Australia
