Hi Patrick,

Im waiting for my uncle to arrive home from Canada, he's going to see if he can shed any light on the situation for me. Then I will try Ancestry.

It certainly is a coinidence, ive been trying to find any trace of those people and can't find them anywhere, I even looked for the other George J Bare's birth entry index in the archives and he's not there!!!!! Only George Stanley Bare is listed in 1887!!! I wonder if they are the same person. Im c...

I noticed you mentioned St.Andrews Square, looked into this and since discovered those buildings belong to the Salvation Army, I did speak to a lady there and she said they had been on that site long before my Great Grandad was born in Brook Street, although they are the second buildings to be built...

Thank you so much for your help, I was coming round to the idea that maybe she came in from out of town, I did a search on the house and it seems she didn't hang about as other families moved in. Also thanks for the info regarding Brook Street. :w00t:

Unfortunately there is no entry for a father on his birth certificate, however I know his mother was Emma Bare a dressmaker living at 23 Brook Street Hastings at the time of the birth.
