Have you got the Marriage Papers, showing his Fathers name?

or is it just his location in 1901 you need?


btw - he married Rose Janson in Barrow....

Have not got marriage papers, but he did marry Rose I'anson sometimes called Janson in 1906. I need  his 1901 location and occupation plus any 1901 census information. They (RootsChat) are trying to find him and his family in Ontario where they emigrated to.

theres the one mentioned above, and also a THOMSON, a couple of years older, but looks like he's already married to an Alice.

Having his Fathers name, and William's occupation in 1906 would help pin him down in the search index.

Sorry, I must of missunderstood you, I thought you meant William who married Rose Janson when you said, there's the one mentioned above. I will send for the marriage cert, to obtain more info, I suppose my information could be incorrect  and he was born somewhere else, thank you for your time and effort, Tony.

Proving to be a challenge!

Is Barrow being his actual PoB an assumption on your part?

I have looked back to the 1881 census, and see no combinations of Williams with those occupations linked to Barrow.

In fact if you use the free Index of the 1901 census, there are NO W. Thom* with the occupation of Stone Mason in the area.

The closest I can find in 1901 is a lad born c1881 Lancs, Heywood (Bury area) who has a Father William, but they are both Masons. (and Wm snr was a Mason back in 1881)

I have just been informed by an elderly relative that William senior was from Scotland and thinks William junior was also born in Scotland but doesn't know the location
