Warwickshire / Re: Thomas Woodall
« on: Friday 30 November 18 20:27 GMT (UK) »Just for some further clarification, the Thomas killed in WW1 (14/10/1918) was, as has been mentioned before, from Stalybridge and was the son of a John Woodall and (Eve) Maria Plant (married 1890). Said son Thomas shown on census as bc.1899 (not ca.1893) and his birth was registered Ashton under Lyne (reg. district for Stalybridge) in Sept.qtr.1898 - mmn Plant.
So, this is clearly not the man who was married to Alice Maud Neale - is it the husband of Alice that we are still seeking information about? I'm confused too.

The Thomas Woodall who was killed in action 14/10/1918 was in 1/7 Battalion Cheshire Regiment Service no 243608 is the one married to Alice Maud Neale he was born 20th July 1893 in Staveley Chesterfield ( no connection to Staley Bridge ) I have his Birth Certificate which clearly states hi parents as Samuel Woodall and Anne Peabody and a copy of the marriage Certificate witnessed by May Ann and Jonathan Gregory Neale's Mark, the other Thomas is the one found as a corporal in the Greadier Guards.
Like I have already stated I am trying to clarify who this Thomas is and I would be a lot happier when it is resolved, this no reflection on yourself but I do wish that people read the posts properly then there would not be any confusion as to why I have asked for the help in the first place.
The second Thomas seems to be a bit of a mystery, However I know that Alice Woodall did not marry him. And taking into account that she had lost her husband in 1918 and then her baby daughter Rosanna 3 months later I really do not think she would have gone to the arms of another especially when her sister in law was living so close by and keeping an eye on even through her own grief because I really knew that was what my grandmother would do for her brother.
