Thread: Corke Family...help needed please

I have managed to find out about my father, who died when I was young. And I have found out about my Mum who died when I was a child. But does anyone have any information on any of the following?



I believe my grand dad was George Corke born in 1848 in Fletching Sussex. I also believe he married Caroline Rist/Riste born in 1853 in West Hoathly, Sussex.



BUT, Caroline seems to have had a son Thomas (out of wedlock) in 1871 and George in 1874. Both boys are listed as Corke. But I can't find any evidence of them actually marrying. Also George senior may have died young and Caroline may have remarried someone called John Stephens/Stevens. Anyone got any ideas where to look?

Hello,



I have found a marriage that may interest you and you may wish to take it further.



George Corke to Caroline Rich in 1872, East Grinstead Surrey, Sussex. Vol 2b. I can not see the death of George but then we have this.



Caroline Corke to John Stevens in 1878, Pancras London, Middlesex. Vol 1b.



Then in 1881 this appears to be the family,



West Hoathly, Sussex, England

Address: Hook Cottage

John Stephens 29

Caroline Stephens 28

William Stephens 11

Thomas Corke 10

George Stephens 9

George Corke 7

Lavinia Kate Stephens 1

Wow Thanks for that = you are great!

No problems - but I think we are on the wrong board for doing this - so perhaps a kind administrator can move it for us.
