Hi George, I guess you already have the burial of George Cabon aged 49 at 79 Garden st, whose burial took place at Great Grimsby, St marys, St James. 28 August 1894? freereg. The variatins of the surname is Cable,Cavan, Cabon, Caban, Capon, Cayburn, Caybourn. I wonder also if you are looking at a spinster birth here. IE he went under his mothers surname until she married his father Samuel Cab***** you may have to try a wild cardto get the right surname. Of course you may alreadyknow all of this but in case you don't. I did do a search just using George and the date you say he was born, c1844 so started 1842 to say about 50 or maybe if he was a baptist an adult baptism, so worth looking right up to marrying age. There were a lot in Spilsby so it is time taking, but worth the search.

He married Ellen SIMPSON in Sculcoates (Hull, Yorkshire) in 1867; the register has CABORN as his surname, also that of his father Samuel. In the poorly transcribed 1861 Census he is likely the servant George CABORN/CABAN in the family PATCHETT/PATCHELL at Bilsby/Spilsby. In the 1871 census he was in Hull as a policeman under the name CABON. He went on to be a successful grocer in Grimsby. I cannot find him (age about 6) in the 1851 census, nor have I found a convincing record of his father Samuel's birth. Who can help?
