  • Notes 
    • 1866 - Farmer [Thomas' Marriage Certificate]
      1881 Census - No George of anywhere near the right age listed inCumberland
      so this fits with our guess of him dying between1866 & 1882

    1. [S1801] Baptism Entry - Sherwen, George, 4 Jan 2017.
      As SherwIn

    2. [S824] 1841 Census - HO 107/0158 B17 F17 P03 - Banks, Elizabeth, 10 Apr 2010.

    3. [S3241] BMD - Death Index, 10 Apr 2010, 1850 JFM Whitehaven 25 98.
      This is unconfirmed but George died between 1841 & 1851 censuses and this is the most likely fit.

    4. [S1636] Marriage Entry - Sherwen, George - Banks, Elizabeth, 25 Apr 2016.
