Hi Canuck.
I've checked and rechecked again all the info you provided in your first post, and I'm still coming up zero, I find it a bit strange, after all these years spent recording all who took the Kings Shilling, that there is no record of your George in any of the 100's of sources i/ve gone through. Blooming eck I can't get over the fact I could have missed someone. I going to have to sit in the corner for ages, or shoot myself.
If I'm still here next week I'll go down the library, and search thro some of the other Burgess Rolls.
Just thinking of other possibilities, the reason why there is no record of him or the family Grindley's in Accrington just before the outbreak of war and after, they could be living outside my patch, in that case I would not know him
