	You didn't give any birth place or anything for him ........ so it is hard. Cottrell is not an uncommon name, from various areas of England, as I know to my own cost. I have found my own Cottrells, all from Lancashire or Cheshire, mis-spelled in all kinds of weird and wonderful ways! For our information ..................... is this your George in 1871? 1871 Census Name: George T Cottrell Age: 37 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1834 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Mary J Cottrell Gender: Male Where born: Portsmouth, Hampshire, England Civil Parish: Portsmouth Ecclesiastical parish: St Thomas County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Registration district: Portsea Island Sub-registration district: Portsmouth Town George T Cottrell 37 Mary J Cottrell 27 b.ca 1844, Southsea, Hampshire, Waterman's Wife John W Cottrell 4 b.ca 1867, Portsmouth Ellen Cottrell 2 b.ca 1869, Portsmouth Henry Cottrell 1 b.ca 1870, Portsmouth John H Cottrell 42 b.ca 1829, Portsmouth, Waterman Address:- 1 Doris Court (???spelling) If so, is this who you think he is in 1841?? 1841 Census Name: George Cottrell Age: 6 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1835 Gender: Male Where born: Hampshire, England Civil Parish: Portsmouth Town Hundred: Portsmouth Borough County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Registration district: Portsea Island Sub-registration district: Portsmouth Town John Cottrell 45 b.ca 1796, Hampshire, Waterman Mary Cottrell 35 b.ca 1806 Priscilla Cottrell 15 b.ca 1826, Portsmouth Ann Cottrell 10 b.ca 1831, Portsmouth John Cottrell 10 b.ca 1831, Portsmouth George Cottrell 6 Address:- West Street
