 Hi Jetstream...bit of a puzzler here? You say your looking for a Thomas born 58/59 but at the moment i cant seem to find a Thomas matching that date of birth. In looking for the 1871 census i found this though so i,ll post it anyway...

             Thomas Kent born B Norfolk age 38
              Alice G Kent B Southampton age 39
              Thomas w s Kent B Southampton age 1

All living Southampton  All Saints RG10/1192
                                                      Folio 101
                                                      page10

I,ll carry on having a look through but where did you find date of birth from originally? regards cheryle.f P.S your Thomas should have been 11,12,13 in 1871census but not any showing up of this age born Southampton.Do you have his mothers/fathers name? That little bit of info may help locate him.

Good Evening Cheryle.f

Many thanks for your reply and your time to search. I do believe the latter - Thomas W S may be the lead that i'm looking for.
You're help is very much appreciated.

Cheryle.f,

The date of birth was obtained from the 1891 Census(after his marriage in 1885) when his age was stated as 32 and place of birth as Southampton.

 Hi again Jetstream,i checked on 1837online for you to find out if he was def. telling fibs about his age( one of mine did that on his marriage cert. by 6 years and put me off track for ages).There were many Thomas,s born in 57,58 and 59 but none anywhere near southampton as far as i can tell and i live in bournemouth so none of these names ring a bell to me except this one of Thomas Kent born Amesbury Oct nov dec 1858 5a 166 which i think is over this way somewhere but i,m sure someone like little nell (mod)can confirm for you. That is the only one so he was either lying about date if birth or place of birth if the Thomas above is not him .regards cheryle.f

Good Morning Cheryl.f,

Thankyou again for your help. I am now begining to think that birthplace of Southampton is wrong- I've come across this in earlier searches of this family.

If Southampton is correct, I'm sure something would have come up. I've hit another brickwall.

You're help is very much appreciated.
Best wishes to you

Hi to both of you,

Reading your posts, I've had a thought which may be the answer some of the problems, but doesn't solve them.  Hampshire used to be known as Southampton[shire] - it changed some time in the 19th century, can't pinpoint the date exactly.  Confirmation of his age range - I use the word range deliberately because many many people got their ages wrong on census info - from some more sources may help pin down the right one.

Amesbury is actually in Wiltshire, but the registration district borders one or two in Hampshire.  Will investigate some more on this later.

Hi Little Nell,

Thanks for your reply.
Thomas Kent (I know this is the correct Thomas Kent) has given his place of birth as Southampton in the 1891 Census.
However, his father (Richard) did live in Vauxhall, Surrey for several years, so I am wondering if somewhere along the line a birthplace of Southwark, nearby to Vauxhall, was changed to Southampton. Just thinking out aloud.!
