Hi, there are 8 George Frankish deaths between 1858 and 1871 , the last two are of babies but the rest are before the date when the age of the deceased person was given .......there are two from Lincoln, one Gainsboro, two Bridlington ......it is possible he moved for work and maybe the one in Birmingham is him ... In fact Eliza in the 1861 is described as an outdoor pauper which means that she has no means of support, and children to feed, so is on the Poor Law system . As to the thick black line drawn through the word Mar, there are a number of lines as you can see through all the entries more or less , and I would think she is possibly isn`t sure . There is a water theme through this , Margaret E is born Oulton , Eliza and George are married at Gt Yarmouth, and I wonder therefore if George isn`t dead in Bridlington ? However , there is a Geo Frankish in Sheffield, Arnold, who calls himself a widower, aged 30 , a carrier, b Lincolnshire , Elsham and with him is Mary Jane , dau , 1, b Arnold, and a visitor Eliza Johnson , aged 23 , b Beverley ............ life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Enid Rispin" <enid.rispin@ntlworld.com> To: "Suffolk Rootsweb" <suffolk@rootsweb.com> Cc: "Norfolk Rootsweb" <NORFOLK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2011 7:20 PM Subject: [NFK] George Frankish > After being widowed my 2x great grandmother Eliza married George FRANKISH > in Great Yarmouth on December 19th 1858.
