Susanna, b. Est 1702, d. Yes, date unknown (4 x Great Grandmother)Notes - (Research):2 children with mother's maiden name Tilbury born 1924 and 1925; Elizabeth would then have been early 50s so very unlikely to be hers but could be relations of Ernest and Elizabeth married. No Welch-Tilbury marr found but the mother could have been a widow, esp common soon after WW1.

(I have copy of PR entry)
In the 1861 census Maria and her baby son were living with other households in (?London Sq, Harrhead), Sevenoaks. In the same house was 29 yr old James Welch & family - relatives of George? Could be how Maria and George met.
