The George Robert Miller Debate

Is there 1, 2 or 3 of them?

I have created this page in the hope that fellow researcher’s will have a read and forward any opinion’s or clues they may have on the subject of “George Robert ”, or better yet add your comments below for other’s to see them as well.

Laid out below are tables, the first being the children of what appears to be 1 family of George &/or George Robert Miller & Mary Ann??? The second is of my ancestor’s George Robert Miller & Mary Ann Brown formerly Jones. Below these I have laid out ideas and notes, please browse through them. Anything you may wish to add to the argument please forward to me via email.

I believe that A. O. Hayles did us a favour here and supports the theory that this particular George Robert is the same father as the first lot. If you add in the girl Mary in Tasmania and include Mary Ann Brown and you have 10 children. i.e. Jane, Mary, Caroline, Elizabeth & Mary (from Mary Ann Brown nee Jones) you get five girls. Thomas, George R, Henry, Charles & William make up the five boys. Whoever this Hayles person was probably had no idea that Mary Ann was not the mother of all the kids…. Food for thought….
NOTES:
1 Geo R Miller registered birth of Charles; previous issue: 3 others, living.
2 An A. O. Hayles registered the birth of Frederick and stated that the previous issue were: 5 girls and 5 boys.
3 Geo R Miller registered birth of David; previous issue: Henry 8, Charles 6, William 4, Frederick dec’d.
4 The range in years for Williams birth is because the Clerk at Rookwood Asylum where he died states that he was 62 in 1924.
But on David’s birth cert in 1863, George (father) stated that he was 4 in March that year, which would make his birth year 1858/1859.

Mary Ann Miller born 6 Feb 1839, Launceston, Tas. Parents Mary Ann & George Robert Miller…we must bare in mind that George’s brother Thomas lived in Tas.
