England / Golding, Thomas, 1875
« on: Monday 11 April 05 09:00 BST (UK) »
Cannot find his marriage to Rosina Casebow. Their son William Henry (or names reversed) born April 1912.
By 1916 Tom has enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, and gives his birthday as 11th May, with one war record saying born Bristol, the other London.
The Pro's bmd's only have one Thomas listed, born 23rd May.
From war record we discovered he had two sisters - Mary Ann (now Mrs Spraggett) and Alice Maud, both living at a PO Bx address in Ontario. Despite having 'wife' and son in 1912 he lists his sisters as his next of kin.
After contacting Dr. Barnardo's they advised the children were orphaned. Thomas was 'kept by the family' and the sisters were sent to Canada. They will not even say where the children were from.
Cannot locate in 1881 census index. There is one possible Thomas, who's a year 'out' and he's with parents, but not sisters as above.
Any suggestions?
