Hi,
I have managed to trace my family tree back to Patrick Fulham & Catherine Flynn, of The Burrow, Donabate, Co. Dublin. They married 01/09/1804.
They had a number of children, one being Thomas Fulham. I have not been able to obtain his birth certificate, but I do have his death certificate. It states he died in 1913, aged 88 years old. That would put his birth date around 1825.
Around 1850 Thomas Fulham married Thomasina Smart. They had a number of children, one being Nicholas Fulham, my G Grandfather, born 28/03/1858.
I know what became of his brothers & sisters, except for one, Alexander Fulham (Born in Donabate 15/07/1853)
My G Grandfather, Nicholas Fulham, moved to Manchester & married Annie Wylie 22/06/1889. A witness at the wedding is one Alexander Fulham. After that date he goes completely off the radar! I have checked the UK & Irish census from 1891 to 1911. Not a trace!
I have now come across a Alexander Fulham who married a Margaret Whittaker in 1920 in Liverpool. In 1921 I have the death of one Alexander Fulham. It states he was 57 years old. That makes his birth year 1864. Is it my Alexander Fulham? Strange days indeed!
Terry.
