Find Ancestors

Looks like he got married late then...aged 30. That's an amazing find ...seems like he stole some expensive stuff. A t least we know where he was now then. That marriage is a possible. ..thanks for all your hard work x :-D

So not much chance of finding them in 1871 as they were in India, and 1891 he was already dead. It looks likely for him in prison in 1881, so the marriage posted by Gins looks promising and would be most logical lead to follow up.

A newspaper article confirms that the James Andrews above in Prison previously was a porter at Bank Top Railway station and his address was 61 Gannow Lane.

12 March 1881 - Burnley Express - Burnley, Lancashire, England

Looks like him. .so he was in prison in 1881 :-0

Offence for above
Stealing from Burnley on the 5th February 1881 one hundred and thirty three yards of black Silesia cloth, and within six calendar months thereafter, to wit, on the 28th of February 1881, at the said place feloniously did steal twenty eight yards of French ivory merino,respectively, the goods and chattels of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company.

Warrant 28 Mar, Received into Custody 29 Mar 1881
Trial 6 Apr 1881 Pleaded guilty to Larceny. Sentence 9 Months

There is this entry for 1881?

George Andrews
Born 1836 Scotland
Prisoner
Her Majesty's Prison Preston Lancaster

States he is Married but Occupation is Tailor

He was a Railway employee, so could have been anywhere in the area covered by the Railway Company

Thanks all. Maybe George was in hospital ...or the workhouse ....or working away. It's harder to discover where he was born but it's possibly Scotland . Maybe he was away with the army as it seems he was maybe a career soldier or child of army personnel.?
:-)
