David Report 6 Mar 2009 00:03

According to his birth certificate, my Grandfather, George Richard Sherriff was born in Castle Road, Southwark, 1st November 1874. His mother is given as Caroline Mary Sherriff, formerly Heasley. However in January that year, his father married Mary Ann Elliott, formerly Edgeley. Both were widowed according to their Marriage cert. May Ann was the mother of subsequent children.

I cannot find any trace of Caroline Mary Heasley. On the 1861 George snr had a wife Caroline, but he did not marry Caroline Watts till the following month. Both were single on their marriage cert. Address was 1 Birch's Place on the census and 3 Birch's Place on their marriage cert May 27 1861.

My question is is there any way I can trace the true Identity of George Richard's mother, if he was baptized perhaps? and if so, how can I find it.?

Thanks

David
