Can any one help me track down a GEORGE LAKE.  He married ADA MARY ANN
AMELIA WELTON from St. Paul,DEPTFORD, KENT ENGLAND.  I think his family is
from there also but have no real evidence of this.  Could someone please
check the 1881 census for that area as Ada was found there being 7 years
old.  George and Ada had at least one of their three children in GOSPORT,
ALVERSTOKE, HAMPSHIRE.  His name is ROBERT GEORGE WELTON LAKE born Feb 11,
1891.  The LAKE'S address at this time was 11 Moncton Terrace Haslar Road,
USD.  I do not know what "USD" is.  George Lake was a Corporal in the
Royal Engineers at this point then ended up as shop keeper later.  I think
the marriage of George and Ada would be abt 1888 and one daughter born
before Robert.  Another girl was born after Robert.  Their names are
RACHEL AMELIA and DOLLY.  We are not sure if Dolly is a nickname, but it
was the name she was called.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I have responded to Trudy off list.

The 'USD' stands for 'Urban Sanitation District' as opposed to 'Rural
Sanitation District' and was one of the lower divisions of local government
in England. The later may have been known by other names depending on local
conditions.
