Thomas Charles Morgan Greenwich 1851

[Tati]

PS. Can anyone read the word before Chemist in the 1861 ?

Operative perhaps? 

[Necromancer]

beats me - I wondered if it was Optic~~ian - but that seems a stranger mix than being a butcher 10 years earlier  !


Incidentally Steve, depending on what the marriage Cert reveals it might be worth getting the oldest childs Birth Cert to see what TC's occupation was then ....

I think operative chemist means the equivalent of a dispensing chemist - a pharmacist as opposed to a scientist or whatever other sort of chemists there might have been.

Since Mary Ann was a widow on the 1871 census and their youngest child was then aged 1 and there doesn't appear a death registration for a Thomas Charles is this him wrongly aged - 29 instead of 39?

Deaths Mar 1870   
Morgan  Thomas  29  Greenwich  1d 567

Do you know what Thomas died from?

Are you sure it doesn't say carman?

[ticktock]

It certainly could be Carman

[Necromancer]

The fathyer of a Mary I saw - Thomas - was on the Census as a Labourer ..... not sure how you are going to correlate these 2 documents.

Maybe somebody else can look in 1851 for Thomas K, Carman ?

There is a baptism on the IGI http://www.familysearch.org of a Mary Ann KINGHORN 1830 Greenwich with parents Thomas and Mary Ann - I'm thinking that KINGHORN could quite easily be a mistranscription of KINGHAM as it would fit quite nicely.

I looked for the Thomas & Mary KINGHAM (as provided in the 1851 census above) to see if there was a change of occupation in the 1861 census but I couldn't see them.  The nearest I could see in 1871 is this couple - him a gardener and a change of birthplace:
