William George
M, #11555
Family:
| Daughter | Frances George (d. 6 December 1834) |
| Son | William George+ (b. about 1756, d. March 1821) |
| Daughter | Lydia George+ (b. 1763, d. 12 May 1830) |
Biography
| Research Note | Possible parents of William, Lydia, and Frances. Family Search tree seems to have Lydia George G9MF-QH2 confused with a Sarah Lydia George KL1S-C8H from Pennsylvania, outside of Phila. There is a couple, William George and Frances Bagg, in Shipdham, Norfolk, England, who married 4 Nov. 1743. They had Elizabeth 1746 Shipdham Frances 1750 Shipdham William 1754 Shipdham Robert 1758 Topcroft Lydia 1761 Topcroft Frances 1765 Topcroft Thomas 1767 Topcroft So if this is the same couple, moving from Shipdham to Topcroft, about 30 miles away -- both villages about 20 miles from Norwich -- this looks like a very likely family. FamilySearch has this Frances Bagg LZFX-DWG 1720-1793, buried in Shipdham However, they have the son William 1754 marrying Ann Andrews in East Dereham 3 Aug 1778. And a daughter Anne Maria of William and Anne, 1784, Shipdham. And Anne the wife, is buried in 1827 in Shipdham, "wife of William, age 74". So it doesn't appear this could be the right family. |
