I can also see him in 1851 (widowed). Shout if you want the details  :)

 :D Thanks so much for all that information Tati  8)

I would have looked on Ancestry but then wondered about how to follow up, seeing where he was born  ???

This side is turning out to be exciting after a couple of false leads.

Once again thanks for your help

 :D WoW Tati I have just had quite a brief look at the fadedgenes site at first Could not see the connection but then.......
what an amazing find  ;D

I am so pleased I posted the name from Thomas Christie Bradshawe's marriage certificate otherwise I may have missed all that information.
It was certainly worth spending £7 for the certificate this time  :) This will keep me out of mischief for a while  :o

Many Thanks Crystal  8)
