I need help please, and I understand this site is an effective one. I'm trying to trace one Daniel Cork(e) born, according to census dates, in 1845 in Chelsea, Surrey (!) then altered on next census to Chelsea, Middlesex.
He cannot be found on the 1851 census but appears from 1861 onwards. I am happy with him from then on and have his wife and children sorted.
My problem is his parentage. I bought his marriage certificate which states that his father is Richard. I had thought that his father was Richard Corke born 1813 in Stone, Kent, but cannot find proof of this. Will willingly buy any certs needed to sort this out.
To save kind people's efforts, I do not need any census lookups, but a baptism record or proof of birth would be invaluable.
If Richard of Stone is his father then his mother is probably Jane born in Ch..........in Surrey. (can't read the 1861 census), so could Daniel have been born there (wherever it is) too?
Any thoughts and advice would be so much appreciated because he is driving me
Thank you.
