Can anyone help me find my great grandma's brother?
He is Thomas Todd b c1865 Marylebone, Middx. He is with the family in the 1881 census, details are:
6 Grove Rd, Edmonton, Middx
Parents: Thomas Todd and wife Isabella
Children: Thomas jnr aged 16, Drapers Apprentice
Isabella 14 (she went on to marry and I have her details all traced)
Annie 10 (my great grandma)
In 1891 the family are still at the same address, Thomas snr is widowed, daughter Isabella is still there, and a couple of young relations, but no Thomas jnr.
I was told that my great grandma Annie Todd was an only child. Her sister Isabella died young, after marrying and having two children, and Thomas has dissapeared after the 1881 census....did he die, move abroad......is this why the family think Annie was an only child.
Can anyone help me trace Thomas after 1881?
(Can I also link this to a completed request, Thomas Todd, Marylebone, Middx under London and Middx)

Hi Jorose,
Thanks for your reply. Thomas Todd snr (his family surname was spelt Tod, but Thomas seems to have added an extra "D" to his surname at some point!) died in Silloth, Cumbria 21.9.1913. His son from his first marriage lived there, so assume he was on a visit. (In 1901/1911 census he was living with his daughter Annie and her family).
Thomas's second wife Margaret (mother to Thomas jnr, Isabella and Annie) died 23.10.1888 at 6 Grove Rd.
Interestingly, their daughter was Isabella Niven Todd (her paternal grandmother was Isabel Niven) and after Isabella's early death my great grandma Annie went by the name Annie Niven Todd, later Annie Niven Sharp on marriage.
There is a big connection to New Zealand with the family. Thomas snr had a brother John Ford Tod who settled in Dorset. Two of his son's emigrated to New Zealand, to Wanganui, Thomas snr also had another brother whose son went to New Zealand, so it is possible Thomas jnr went to New Zealand too, perhaps this explains his absence after 1881, and the families belief that Annie was an only child. Just need to prove it now!
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
