Trying to help a friend in my adult ed class: we are trying to find her ancestor Thomas Shore who states on census returns that he was born in Leigh on Sea, Essex. Have found him in 1891 living with wife Annie Renyard and children in Southampton. Similarly he can be found same place in 1901, thereafter he disappears.
Have been going cross eyed today trying to find him in 1871 and 1881 census'.
From his wedding certificate to Annie he lists his father as James, (this is in a handwritten note from my friend, I will need to get a copy of the cert and confirm this).
If anyone has this elusive man in their tree, please share info, or if anyone willing to take up the challenge to find him in 1871 or 1881 I throw down the gauntlet
Any help much appreciated.
