George was baptised in the Hertfordshire village of Furneux Pelham in 1746 and married Jane MORRIS at Langley about 4 miles away when he was 23. They baptised two children at Langley in 1777 and 1780, but the long interval between marriage and first baptism suggests that other children were born elsewhere or died before baptism. Some time after, George & Jane moved back to Furneux Pelham. Another son was born there, but Jane died 3 months later. George remarried Mary MUNDAY from nearby Albury and they baptised 3 children at Furneaux, though one of them died young. Mary probably died in 1801 when George was 54 and George eventually returned to Langley where his children had settled. He was buried there in 1827 aged 80. |

George was buried at Langley in 1827 aged
81, so was born about 1746. There is no
suitable baptism at Langley where the first
GRAVES record is in 1777. George lived much of his life at Furneax Pelham
about 5 miles away and there is a suitable baptism
there in 1747:
C 29Mar1747 George s Thomas & Ann GRAVES at Furneux Pelham
Thomas-6
was C 1780 at Langley s George & Jane; no suitable m there but m banns found
in nearby Furneaux Pelham:
banns 4Nov1770 George GRAVES & Jane
MORRIS of Measden; and other dates
right name
combination and suitable date, leaves little doubt that this is correct
marriage; the m no doubt took place at Meesden, but the
Meesden marriage register for this date is lost.
C 21Sep1777 George s George
& Jane GRAVES
C 28May1780 Thomas s George
& Jane GRAVES
C 15Jan1786 William s George & Jane GRAVES at Furneaux Pelham
this
baptism however is followed by the burial of Jane and a marriage of George to
Mary. The relatively uncommon name and
the marriage 6 months after a burial of Jane leaves little doubt that this is a
second marriage for George.
