I wonder if you can help us. We come from a George Caulfield (second name Thomas?) who
was born in 1864/5 and died in Chatham, Kent, England in 1945. He was listed as a 16 year
old lodger with the young family of George Green in Chatham in the 1881 census. In the
1901 census, he was married to Lavinia Balderston and had:
Lavinia Susan (b) 1889
George (b)1890
Florence(b)1892
Albert (Mick) (b)1893
Elizabeth Ada(b)1896
Alice Marion(b)1899 - my grandmother
Hilda Frances(b)1901
James Alfred(b)1903 (d)1968 my cousin's grandfather
Henry Richard(b)1905 (d)1986
Sidney(b)1910 (d)1996
My mother also remembers a Gertrude.
We have had absolutely no luck in finding George Caulfield's birthplace, parents'
names, siblings, etc.
Is there the remotest possibility that you can help us determine where he came from, if
indeed he did leave Ireland for England, possibly as an orphan?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
