Tuxworth
« on: Monday 02 November 09 19:25 UTC (UK) » |

Hello,
I am new to this board, but have just found a death for a "missing" relative in British Columbia, in 1930, Thomas Greaves Tuxworth, who I think is Thomas "graves" Tuxworth--he was b c 1870 at Wapping,London, and was a merchant seaman who emmigrated to Australia c 1900, but the family "think" he went to Canada later.
Has anyone come across this man? I cannot find any reference other than his death in Canada ( I have him on English census 1871, 81, 91, and on a couple of crew lists into Australia ...but that is all) .It is odd that the family say he went to Canada, but he then just dissapears!!
Any help would be great, Thank-you!!

Hi Lynwen,
Thank-you so much for your reply and offer to help!
I have come across the other Tuxworths you mention, but as far as I know they are not connected to this branch of the Tuxworth family, although, if they proove to be that would be really helpful!! My Tuxworth family did have other connections, by marriage, to a Miles family who were in Canada by the end of the 19thc, which maybe the reason Thomas was there, or it could be simply that he was a Seaman.
The details on the BC Death Index I have found as follows;
Thomas Greaves Tuxworth
18 May 1930 aged 59
Kamloops
Reg. 1930-09-445727
bca# B13140
gsu# 1952651
Would you be able to get anymore information from this reference, or would I have to buy a certificate from this end? Can I get Canadian certificates, is what I really mean, -I found the reference on Ancestry and it wasnt clear what all the numbers mean, or what bI could do with them!!
If you do get a chance to look for this I would be so grateful.....and thank-you again.
Yours, Sally

Hello all,
Thank-you every one for your replies!
I do have a sub to FMP etc, and have got details of Thomas Tuxworth arriving and departing a couple of times into Australia. Just enough information for me to say it is him, and therefor that he was a merchant Seaman, which is how he appears on the UK census upto 1891.The reason I want to establish that the death in Canada is him, and to get any further info from the death registration is that he is a bit of a mystery in the family, as, untill we found the census no-one in my bit of the family knew he existed, and later-made contacts had,but thought he emigrated to Canada, despite his brothers etc ending up in Australia. I cannot find a birth registration for him in the UK,(or baptism) and don't really know what the "G" in his name stands for ( am assuming Graves, as that is a family name, and this death registration is Greaves) I am hoping to find out if he married, and had family. And it is possible that this Thomas is not mine, as Lynwen noticed, there are other Tuxworths about, including a large family of Sawyers who started in Canada and then shifted to Michigan. They appear as born Lincolnshire and Canada, but my Tom was born Wapping (St George in the East), London.
Lynwen,
Thank-you so much, I would be so grateful (is that how you spell grateful?..I always have troulbe with this word!) if you do manage to look this up, its really kind of you!
Sally

I looked up the death registration and it was interesting but probably leaves you with more questions than answers!
He was registered as Thomas Greaves Tuxworth (also known as Thomas Greaves). The informant was listed as "Hospital Records" which I assume mean his admission records. He died at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops of bronchiectasis, complicating factor bronchial pneumonia. Residence is listed as Vancouver, he was single, born in England, birth date unknown, 59yrs old, occupation Steeple Jack and War Veteran. He lived in Kamloops "about 18 months" prior to his death, time in BC and Canada is not known. Parents not known as well. He was buried in Kamloops on 21 May 1930.
It sounds like he must have been quite ill when admitted to hospital because there weren't a lot of details in their records. Sadly, it doesn't help to confirm if this is your man.
But perhaps a search for Thomas Graves/Greaves might turn something up. I tested my brilliant idea and came up with a Thomas Graves in the 1911 BC Census, aged about right and I thought, I am a genius! But he was born in America of Irish descent. Doh! Once again, genius eludes me.

Thank-you SO much Lynwen!!!!
I can't Thank-you enough.
Well, you're right it doesn't tell me a lot!- but at least something to go on! The use of "greaves/graves" rather than Tuxworth is really interesting though. On the 1901 England census his parents (if he is my Thomas) used Graves as their surname, inexplicably, and in 1891 so did their eldest son and his wife. Graves was the maiden name of the mother of the brood. Father James Tuxworth was illigitimate, which might be the reason, but it is odd, as the family appear in a Directory of the same dates as Tuxworth, and in all other "official" records.
So, looking for Thomas as Greaves or Graves is probably the way to go, and I am really grateful,
Sally

one of the above replies stated that Thomas was a veteran so I checked the attestation papers at
www.collectionscanada.gc.ca under Soldiers of the first World War and found this.
Thomas Greaves, SPR
Reg. # 103575
The attestation papers list Thomas Greaves, residing in Regina, Saskatchewan, born Limehouse, London, England. His next of kin is George Greaves, brother, 21 Little Raglan Street, Melbourne, Australia. His date of birth is listed as 28 Nov. 1877.
If you know the names of Thomas' brothers that went to Australia and one is named George, I would order his entire military file as you may get more information from the whole file.
If he went by Greaves and Tuxworth, I wouldn't rule anything out.
Hope this helps.

Hi Valeriec,
Fantastic, YES it does help!!!!!!!!!!
One brother was George Tuxworth, living at that address to boot! I have not seen George using Greaves/Graves, but this does raise the possibility that all the family did at one time, which is odd.
So, brilliant, thank-you all so much for this help.
Sally
