Hi,
 I also have part of a letter from 1904 (Mary Lydia is still alive),from Thomas Rowland to May saying he is abroad and she should come and join him. He mentions bringing the boys but not Mary Lydia. That he thought he had lost her. He also mentions their wedding day I presume looking back to it?
I think he is in Canada or America.

Hi
Yes his parents are John B Thexton and Esther Rowland.

It is these interesting family stories that make trees so fascinating. It is amazing what you can find from the census' and with a bit of guess work make out. I presume Edna as she was known may not be Thomas's but I may be reading this wrong.

I think Thomas Rowland Thexton travelled abroad a lot and was away in America or Canada working possibly on railroads.

I think the criminal record is him not paying child maintenance. Not sure if it is definitely him but could be.

Hi Everyone Thanks,
 Thomas Rowland Thexton wasn't missing in 1901 but his wife and Harry are.

I have his WW1 details but in letters from him to his wife say that he has fallen out with his Dad and that his Dad would be suprised he is back in the army. I have no other details to prove this.

I also have his Wife Sarah Ann (Lilley) Thexton in Norwich in 1904 when her daughter by Thomas Mary lydia Thexton dies she is less than a year old.Her death cert has a Charles Henry Thetford on it. Sarah Edna May Thexton is born in Norwich in 1905.The only birth cert for her says Sarah Edna Thetford with Mum as May Thetford /previously Thexton. Unless I have the completely wrong person.But Sarah Ann Thexton is back with Thomas Rowland  in 1911 and has 2 more children by him in the next few years.
I'm confused.

Hi Everyone ,
 I hope everyone is well.
 I have a Thomas Rowland Thexton who was killed in WW1. I have the details of his WW1 army service but I believe he was in the army at some point before this. On Ancestry I only can find the War details. How do I go about finding if he was in the army before this?
 And I suppose it was possible to not be on a census  as the did this. Is there any other way of finding a Mum and son in 1901?

Thanks Everyone .I really appreciate the help on this site. You are all brilliant. I am getting better at looking for some things but occasionally hit a wall.

  Thanks for all your help.
  I will have a look at that Charles Henry Thetford.
  I found another one working at a Workhouse as a Bathman? But I don't think he would
be running a Pub.

Thank you

Oh that's interesting as he is at the Mariners Inn Wymondham in 1905.
Maybe he left from one to the other.
 I would like to know if he was married or not. I wonder if Edna was his or Thomas Rowlands.
Thanks
