Does anyone know anything of George 'Brummie' Sage, birth, parents, marriage, court, death etc, from
Ive been told he was my gt grandfathers cousin and i'm trying to link him to my tree. He was leader of the Camden Town Gang who ran the racecourse rackets, friends with Billy Kimber, whom he met in prison. I beleive his grandfather was William Sage b 1822, Borden, Kent, I would like to find out who his parents were or any children.

Did you check the 1891 census & 1911 ?
You could try checking https://www.freebmd.org.uk/search for Birth/ marriage records

i saw a couple of William Sage in the 1861 census around the London area
Since you have an idea of where William came from start there & come forward
another site to check records though not all transcribed

I have William Sage on all the census, and i have his children and i have a few Georges amongst the grandchildren but nothing states who is brummie Sage which is to be expected. Which is why I'm hoping someone will know of the actual George 'Brummie' Sage so i can try and tie him in

If you have approx DOB you could check the GRO
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp#Results
Just create an account you do not need to buy the certificates unless you want to
But I use it as a search feature
check surname approx year of birth
it will come up with a mother's maiden surname name usually & town/city of birth
It will help tie things together
You could search wikitree wo see if anyone else has that family in the tree
Do you have a maiden name for the mother? appox DOB for George?
I can have a look
Good luck

You probably know this already but he was in Southampton in the 1920's where he was shot

(Sorry psted in wrong plsce so deleted and reposted here)
Thank you Lynda, i have actually found him now and linked hime with a George i have in my tree. George Neaves Sage born 16 MAR 1877, Stoke Newington, Middlesex, England. Died 26 JUN 1947, Islington, London, England. I found him by reading an article that said george was 5 years older than Billy knowing Billys birthdate I worked this out and searched my tree which came up with George Neaves sage i then googled him and found a very long article on him and other family member sin the book Gangs of London, written by Brian Macdonald, I have now ordered the book and glad i have tied this up. Brummy Sage was my Gt Grandads Cousin, thnk you for all the research and help. BTW im looking into the shooting, hopefully i may find a newspaper article but he wasnt killed in the shooting
