General Notes

In 1881, George a paver and Mary (53 & 51) were living at 9 Maderia Aoll, Wrexham with El;izabeth (28), Edwin (10), Arthur (9), Elizabeth (6) and George (2)
George must have liked a drink. "George Eddowes was charged by P.C. Jones, with being drunk and disorderly in High-Street (Wrexham) on the Tuesday night previously (to 28-Jan-1865), and was fined 5s and costs." Mary was also charged in 1893.
George (53) was a Staff Sergent Denbigh Welsh Fusiliers (R.W.F.) in 1871. He was pensioned off 16 Dec 1884
