London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: James Worthy 1833 Camberwell (Brickwall)

There is a marriage in 1834 St Dunstan Stepney between Alice Worthy & Thomas Palmer.  May be worth seeing if he’s under Palmer in 1841

Thomas Palmer Jones (otp) married Alice Worthy (otp) on 6th July 1834 at St. Dunstan Stepney. Thomas signed and Alice made her mark. Witnesses were John Neal and Eliza Cornish.

Thomas Palmer Jones, widower, married Eliza Mason on 16th November 1840 in Christ Church, Southwark.

Assuming this is the same man (the signature looks very similar), then Alice died before 1840 and would not have appeared on the 1841 census. I'm not sure that James would be with Thomas and his new wife, bearing in mind that Thomas was probably not his biological father.

Well I can see from the British Army Service Records on FindMyPast that he enlisted on 17th December 1914 in Birmingham and that his full name was Alfred Bradford. Not yet found his full record for more information.

This seems a likely burial in 1835:

Would make him 35 at marriage, which would be about 10 years older than Ann.

I believe this is Ann on the 1841 census:

She is a widow, which would fit with the above burial. Looks like she died in 1869:

How interesting; thank you, Monica, for providing the Scottish perspective.

Did Thomas come back to Ireland in 1894 and then return to Scotland?  ??? I'm getting myself all confused, haha.

I wonder whether it may be worth OP doing a DNA test through Anc*? I've had a lot of success firming up my Irish father's ancestors through it.

Unfortunately, everything I'm finding is a little circumstantial. If only I could find the death registration of Thomas, who we know was alive in 1894.

People on Anc* seem to believe that this Thomas moved to Dalry in Scotland, so perhaps he is not the father of your James. The Dalry Thomas was indeed a blacksmith, so I'm not really sure. Dalry Thomas married an Agnes McGooken in Dalry in 1859, but these trees claim that she was his second wife, after the first Agnes (Armstrong) died?

Okay, I think maybe I have found more evidence to support this being incorrect.

We know from his marriage certificate to Agnes Armstrong that Thomas' residence was Lismenary (?) and that he was the son of James McGookin.

In 1894, the death of an 84-year-old James McGookin of Lismenary was registered by Thomas McGookin, son of the deceased with the same place of abode. Thomas cannot be in Scotland if he was in Antrim in 1894, so he could certainly be the father of your James.

I wonder if there is a clue in James' residence at the time he married, Ballyrickardmore in Raboo? There are a few McGookins there in the 1901 census.
