George Harry Chedgzoy

[2026-06-13 Ancestry] Direct-line collateral (son of gen-7 John + Sarah Caroline O Dell; brother of John James #10). A George Harry Chedgzoy lived a long life in Birmingham: many Birmingham electoral registers, GRO Marriage Index (George H x Evelyn E Holmes, Q4 1935 Birmingham; also a George H marriage Q4 1911), and GRO Death Index George H Chedgzoy b.abt 1867 d. Jan 1940 Birmingham. BUT a Stretton/Pullinger tree records a Henry/George/Harry Chedgzoy (same parents) dying ~1871 as an infant. So #21 and brother #24 (Henry George b.1865) are the classic infant-died / survivor name-reuse pair. PROBABLE: the survivor (d. Jan 1940 Birmingham, m. Evelyn Holmes) = one of #21/#24; the other died young ~1871. Needs disambiguation (census/baptism) before assigning the 1940 death + a hard date. No date asserted. [2026-06-13 update] Brother #24 (Henry George) is already resolved (d.13 May 1932), so by elimination the GRO death (George H Chedgzoy, d. Jan 1940 Birmingham) + the long run of Birmingham electoral registers for "George Harry Chedgzoy" + marriage to Evelyn E Holmes (Q4 1935 Birmingham; poss. 2nd marriage, a George H also m. Q4 1911) belong to THIS man (#21). Recording death as Jan 1940 Birmingham (PROBABLE, by elimination + electoral-register continuity; not yet cert-confirmed). {CENSUS} Direct line (Chris great-grandfather). Heavily documented in Birmingham: 1939 England and Wales Register at Birmingham (b.20 May 1865 - note our record says 1864, a one-year discrepancy worth resolving). Died Mar 1940 Birmingham (Civil Reg. Death Index; confirms our 1940), with a Find A Grave entry and a Birmingham Cemetery/Crematoria burial record (headstone/record image a later mop-up). Appears across Birmingham Electoral Registers. NB several other George H Chedgzoy marriage-index entries (1905, 1911, 1935) are the next generation - do not conflate. [Ancestry, transcription pass]. {RESEARCH FLAG 21 Jun} George Harry #21 (b.1864 Alfred St) does NOT appear in the 1901 Warwickshire census (37 Birmingham Chedgzoys listed; only brothers John James #10 and Henry George/Harry #24 head households). Either #21 was living outside Warwickshire in 1901, OR #21 and #24 (Henry George, b.~1865, also Alfred St) may be the SAME man duplicated (very similar names, same street; differing death years 1940 vs 1932 argue against). Investigate: find #21 in 1901/1911 elsewhere, or reconcile the #21/#24 pair. {BMD} Death Q1 1940 Birmingham (indexed George H), age 73, GRO 6d/573 [FreeBMD, Chedgzoy, 22 Jun 2026]. Upgrades "Jan 1940 (probable)".
