Hello Rick, We have done some research on Eling Parish registers when looking for an Australian friend's convict ancestor.I have 14 Baptisms of Bessants, from 1824 to 1830, but no Georges.These are from about 10 sets of parents.Will send details if you would like them, and have a look thro' our other records later this evening. Hope this helps, Jean in Hampshire UK

Hi Jean, thanks for the offer. I have been through the Eling registers already. Poor law also. Nothing that looks like my George. He says he's born in Eling but, I suspect he didn't really know or it just wasn't recorded. He's been a real enigma.
