a frustrating Brick wall lol

[chrismouse1]

Thanks Sue for letting me know where to go.

Ok here is my brick wall. It is my 6 gen great grandfather he was called George Price he was born about 1790 (roughly) in Greenwich, Kent. On his daughters marriage certificate he was still alive in 1845 and his profession stated that he was a Surgeon. I can't find anything else about him, no census, no death nothing.
His daughter however married an Olah from Hungary and I have all records of her except her birth certificate but a entry for her christening on the IGI website. Her name was Susannah Maria Price born 1st Feb 1826, greenwich Kent.
any help to get me through this brick wall would be brilliant.
Many thanks
Christine

Hello and welcome to the Forum,

Just a couple of quick questions because I cannot see him straight away. Might help to pin him down.

What was his wife's name, Susannah's mum? Presumably he would be with her in 1841 or had she died? Also was Susannah with her parents then? You say you have all Susannah's records so was she not living at home in 1841?
Were there any other children likely to be with George on the census?

Christine,

Don't assume that he was alive just because it doesn't say (deceased) under name of father. I've come across others where the father is dead but not stated to be (depends how the vicar asks the question, if he doesn't already know). Of course, if he was a witness.................

The IGI entry for Susannah Maria Price's 1 Feb 1826 bapt. in batch C006323 lists her parents as George Price and Elizabeth. There is another entry in the same batch for the bapt. of Henry Frederick Price to the same parents on 15 Aug 1824.

One obvious thing to do is to peruse the Greenwich parish registers. That shouldn't be an insuperable problem from where you live.

You'll want to confirm Susannah's baptism details and also check the possible siblings thrown up by the IGI.

Then you'll want to search for George Price's baptism.

You say he was born in 1790ish in Greenwich? What is the source for that please? What do you know about Elizabeth Price?

Sorry that I haven't been on-line, I work at the weekends, ok thankyou for the welcome.
I can't totaly remenber where I got his wife's name maybe from IGI but i have a just found a Elizabeth Reid date 1793, which I had found on a family 1851 census as writtern down as Sister to head of household, Which i feel is a mistake and I am sure that it should be Sister-in law. The people that are mentioned on that census are Susannah Maria Price's husband and kids and a couple of servants. I don't have any records of the Olah's having a sister at all.
I have no records of any other family for George. very unsure if there was. The date for George was a rough guess just to place a date in on Ancestry to search.
Can't find Susannah or her parents on the 1841 census.
But on her marriage certificate her last known address was Marylebone. The whitness to there marriage was an Amelia Price, could be her sister? And a name that isn't english but can make out the correct spelling. Susannah's husband came from Hungray and they both lived in London.
I hope that I have answered all of your questions, let me know if I haven't.
thanks once again for your advice.
Regards
Christine

Hi John, I never thought of that, did that really happen? No he wasn't a witness.
thank you.

Hi Hughar,
How did you bring up Henry Frederick Price to the same parents on 15 Aug 1824?
I have just been onto IGI and had a go trying to bring up records but just got a George Henry Price with George as his father but with a different mother.
Thanks
Christine.

Is that Eliza vs Elizabeth? I wouldn't be too quick at writing those off as different names!

This underlines the advice that I've already given to look at the parish registers.

Then you can make your own judgement on the two names taking into account the additional identifying data that you'll find in the registers.

Thanks for the advice the next time that I have the free time I will go and have a look through the greenwich records.

Go to the IGI entry for Susanna Maria Price.
Click on the Batch Number (C006323) at bottom left.
In the new search page, enter
- Last Name (Price)
- Father (George)
- Mother (Elizabeth)
and hit Search. That finds you two entries, Henry Frederick and Susannah Maria.

If you only list George, and not Elizabeth, you get six hits - the others being for George and Sarah, who seem to be another couple, as the date range overlaps.
