What we know about George's life |
| |
| George Watson Theaker was born 4th
September 1859 and registered 22nd September. His middle name, Watson,
appears a number of times in George's dad's and his uncle's lines.
Watson was
the maiden name of George's paternal grandmother. |
 |
| |
| George was baptised a week after he was
born. |
 |
| |
| George appears on the 1861 census living
in Scrooby. |
 |
| |
| In 1871 George's nephew Gillatt Croft is
in the house. James, George's father is elsewhere working as a groom. |
 |
| |
| On March 7, not long before the census
George married Caroline Ann Horne. |
 |
| |
| For some reason, possibly an enumerator
error, a newly married George appears as James on the 1881 census. |
 |
| |
| |
 |
| |
| Caroline Ann's age jumps on the 1901
census. I do wonder whether the enumerator misread 43 for 48.
|
 |
| |
| Caroline filled out the 1911 census and
spelled her name Carriline. Also in the dwelling is one of their
daughter Mary Ann's children, Lizzie. |
 |
| |
| Caroline, George's wife, died May 27th
May 1937. |
