Death?
GIRDLESTONE, HORACE 11
GRO Reference: 1866 M Quarter in YARMOUTH Volume 04B Page 9

Yarmouth seems unlikely, BUT... No other census records are found for Horatio, nor any other proof of life anywhere. Also, no birth record exists for a Horace Girdlestone around 1855.

---

Note: The only Horatio found on FS in Norfolk as a fatther, is one married to a Sarah in Ludham, but their first child is born 1868 - too young for this Horatio.
