Thomas Henry Colman or Coleman b Q1 1862 Waldron, Sussex

[Cockneyrebel]

The above seems to have moved to Gosberton from Sussex 1881-1891 as at 1891 he was living at 49 Cemetery Rd, with his 'wife' Mary Elizabeth and 3 children, Gertrude b Q4 1881 Gosberton, Edith May  b Q1 1887 Lambeth, London? and Ethel Maud b 8 Apr 1890 Gosberton. At 1901 at Salem St, there are 3 more children all born Gosberton and at 1911 at Salem St,2 more children b Gosberton.
However Mary Elizabeth's maiden name is unknown as I'm unable to find a marriage for her, she was bc1864 in Quadring.
Both Thomas and Mary passed away in Wisbech, she in 1929 and he in 1952.
Seems odd that they had 8 children  and no marriage?

I doubt that Gertrude was the daughter of Thomas.

Yes the Lambeth birth with mmn Ashley is an odd-one-out.  Possible a key clue, possibly wrong family!  I can't easily see her elsewhere though.

When Edith May married she gave her father as Thomas a builder.

The only Mary Elizabeth bap in Quadring 1862-67 was LUNN, dau of Joseph and Susannah, 18 Oct 1863.  There is no obvious marriage for her in Lincs.

I see her as Elizabeth M LUNN in Fishtoft in 1881.

Have been looking but nothing found I'm afraid 

Is this Thomas Colman born c1863 Waldron with his father Daniel on 1871/1881 census?

Both Thomas and Mary passed away in Wisbech, she in 1929 and he in 1952.

Looking at the free search 1939 Register this appears to be Thomas -
Did they have another child named Annie? Not seeing Annie E with them

Perhaps their marital statuses are not what you seem to be assuming. 

I believe this is the SHARP connection
