Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

County: Leicestershire
Volume: 7a

And his birth.......

Name: George Edmund Steele

Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Canterbury
County: Kent
Volume: 2a

Although I expect you have already found this info yourself...........

Thanks Reggie

"According to 1901 census.........he was born in Canterbury.....and is merely a boarder with the family."

I know that Elizabeth Kilby (Head in 1901) , was nee Orton & that her mum was Ann Orton (nee Steele) - so it seemed too much of a coincidence that there was no relationship between George Steele & Elizabeth Kilby -

However, thank you for letting me know that he is listed as a boarder. (I can now look into any possible Kent connection, just in case).
