Demise

Because the brothers George had a similar name, it is difficult from existing records, without further study, to determine which death date belongs to which, or whether these are valid matches for either:

  1. UK, Extracted Probate Records, 1269-1975: French, George, Death: 1649, Vital: Sandford, Cornwall, England - Ancestry Record 1610 #298254.
  2. England & Wales, Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills, 1384-1858: George French, Death: Abt 1647, Civil: 20 Dec 1647, Residence: Parshare, Worcestershire, England - Ancestry Record 5111 #858044.

Research Notes

  • He is often confused with his brother George French. His BROTHER George French, not Dennis George French, married Cecily Grey.
  • It is undetermined to which brother this record belongs, for a presumptive child of one of the brothers George:

It seems highly unlikely that the George French who died in Sandford Cornwall, in 1649 would be the same person as someone born in Pershore, Worcestershire. Much more research needs to take place for this profile his brother and parents before any changes take place.
