...so who are his parents?

I've added him on BCC - http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... son-Family

and here he is with his grandparents - see census

need some census pls folks to link in this George Henry

which son does he belong to
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... son-Family

is it William

can we find George on census pls in 1891 1901

George is with his grandmother Sarah in all census's NL
I've highlighted him now

I suspect that George Henry might be the child of one of the girls - probably Elizabeth? Elizabeth might be 'Phyllis' in this 1881?:

1881 at 51 Halesowen Street, Rowley Regis
James Rollinson Head 30 Coal Miner b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Sarah Rollinson Wife 34 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Phillis Rollinson Daur 9 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
William Rollinson Son 8 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Alice Rollinson Daur 5 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Ann Rollinson Daur 4 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Thomas Rollinson Son 1 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis

Thanks Di, yes I thought it might be Elizabeth too but without his birth cert, who knows?

Put Unknown Unknown for one of the children then add in George
put a note on saying you are not sure which child he belongs to but he belongs
you believe to this family

Done that NL - see what you think, if it's o'k it can be archived

Changed my mind am putting him with Elizabeth with a note

will now archive nice one Mally
