Help please: William Tomsey CREECH

[cando]

Database has been amended to read age at death 37 years.

This is the best I can do for a grave location.

Cheers

Cando thank you so much for all of the amazing information .  My apologies for the copy and paste.  The naval records I purchased a digital copy from the uk national archives,Only a few pages and very limited details. I have the copy on my pc,is there a way to get them on here? I am not the most web savvy person >.< Or I am more than happy to send a copy of the file via email.

No need for an apology....I wouldn't like to see a moderator delete the information.

No need really to see the naval records.  Does it give any indication of when he was discharged?

Cando,
No there is no actual service listings or details,and considering he joined in 1863 at 14 years old,which is shocking to me ( a whole different world back then )and was according to the census in 1871 still serving,I would have expected some details,I am at a loss as to where to go other than finding time and visting the national arhives at Kew.  When he enlisted it was with the ship "Fisgard" and then at some point was on the "Royal Oak".  i contacted the National Archives in the uk regarding the limited information but they were unable to throw any light on the information,other than to give me some internent links to search pay records and such (all of which can be viewed at kew but not online.) .

On the 1871 census he was a 23 year old able seaman on the ROYAL OAK which was moored near Naples 'in the Mediterranean'.

The pay records would give you all his service details etc. but only available by someone visiting Kew.

It would appear we possibly had one of our chatters helping Sharon on this forum

That would be my evil twin sister 

Also curious that the death reg. for son William Frank Bernard has his father recorded as Charles.

I wonder if their father was named William or Charles on these certs?

We know that when he married Mary Louisa that he was still using William Tomsey ,maybe he just fancied a change or that something happened and he needed to change identity.  My mum has ordered a copy of his birth certificate over here in the uk. There is alot of material regarding their son Lonige,Louige,Loui,and other alias he was a bit of a naughty boy >.<

Parents Francis and Ann CREEK   Occupation Shoemaker

Born 24 Jun 1852.

I noticed the baptism of a Joseph Tomsey CREECH in Jun qtr 1852, his parents are Joseph and Elizabeth.  It is possible the Tomsey name is connected to the CREECH family not the MORGAN.

This is possibly the death of Wm Tomsey's mother as his father Francis was a Widower on the 1861 census.
