Title: Thomas Slator born in Gedney, Lincs. about 1835. What happened to him after 1861
Post by: rkive82 on Thursday 26 January 17 01:06 GMT (UK)
In the 1861 census, we have Thomas Slator (not Slater) 26 a lodger and bookseller living in Ipswich with his wife Mary C (Charlotta), born in Newport, Pembs. and sons Thomas H (2) and James L (1), both born in Paddington.
Thomas and Mary had married on 30th March 1858 in Newport, Pembrokeshire.
I have Mary C living in Newport, Pembs. in 1901, but nothing else between 1861 and 1901.
**
What happened to the family? Was the father of Thomas a James Slator or Henry Slator?
**
I believe the son Thomas Henry died in California in 1908.
As always, any information is greatly appreciated.
Richard

I found the 1871 record. It appears that it's under STATER not SLATER.
I'm pretty sure that's our Mary Charlotta and her sons.
Thanks

... and the 1881 Census record in Lambeth just has to be Mary C as a sister-in-law to Henry. Being born in Newport, Pembs. would be too much of a coincidence for anyone else, I think.

Thanks so much. I shall enter that on Anc***** too.
Meanwhile, if Mary is still married, where are Thomas and the sons?

If he is 10 months old in 1871 he cannot be born June qtr 1869?

I agree but it's the closest I can find on the FreeBMD index. **** I now find a birth for Arthur Frederick Slater in June 1871 in Chorlton; vol 8c page 655. It may have been registered late. ****
**
Going back to the 1871 census record in Leamington, Warwickshire - Frederick Owen Thomas 20, a student and also born in Newport, Pembs., is visiting Mary C Slator, his half sister, and her two boys Thomas H and Llewelyn J Slator aka Slater and even Stater.
So, it's definitely Mary Charlotta.

That's probably my tree on Anc*****. I have added most of the info we've discovered to see if i can make it fit.

I don't yet see Thomas, Mary Ann and Arthur F together in 1881. I wonder if they ventured abroad?

Thanks Geoff.
I wonder if the Henry Slator, 42 in the 1881 census in Lambeth (above) was also a son of James and Mary? It says he was born in Rippingale.

Great. That appears to confirm the connection between Henry Slator and Mary (Charlotta) in the 1881 Lambeth census. She is his sister-in-law rather than his sister.
**
Records compiled by Robert Moseley Bryce Thomas about the Thomas family state that Thomas was the son of Henry Slator of London and that Thomas was born in London. He may have got that information from Thomas Slator himself.
Am I (a) doubting Thomas?  ;)

Thanks very much Keyboard. I now have the "missing" census records for Mary Charlotta in 1871, 1881 and 1891.
She died in 1907 and there's no mention of a husband or sons in the newspaper article about her funeral.

I found a marriage between a Thomas Slator and a Mary Ann Reed in Q June 1869 in Bolton that I thought would fit. I'll have to explore further.
We're still missing the elusive Thomas Slator.  ???

It is if a Mary Ann Nightingale ever married Thomas Slater that needs to be located?!

I have a Mary Slator (b: aprox. 1830 Whaplode) dau. of Jesse Slator & Tyra Bowent.

These are a brick wall for me.

Gedney and Whaplode are very close so could possibly be related?
