I am struggling to work back from George CABON born ca. 1844 in Spilsby, Lincs. 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? Bruce Moffatt Collins Bracknell, Berkshire bmc34.fh@ntlworld.com

Hi Bruce Could this be his birth registration? You could order via the GRO without the GRO reference, this allows checking points, ie the father name Samuel Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 31/01/2016 18:48, Bruce - Family History via wrote: > I am struggling to work back from George CABON born ca. 1844 in Spilsby, > Lincs.
