Can anyone help me get information about my Grandfather he was
Thomas William Brown Born 25 August 1877 at 10 Sykes Street Hull He married Mary Ann Glew on 26 Dec 1901 I believe he was killed in the 1st world war but cannot get a death certificate or anyhing
My father Thomas George Brown was born 21 Oct 1902 don't have any information about his family other than that his mother married again don't know if there were anymore children so as you can see I don't have much to go on I am not expecting much but any thing will good as I have a 8yr old Grandson who wants to do a family tree

Birth Registration:

Sculcoates Dec Quarter 1877 vol 92/page 171
Brown, Thomas William

This could be your grandfather and will have parents' names on it. Your father's birth registration is also in Sculcoates.

Cheers,

Jen

Thomas Brown, head, married, 42, Varnish maker, born Yorks, Hull
Alice Brown, wife, 30, Born London
Alice M Brown, dau, single, 15, born Hull

1881

Bankside, Sculcoates

Thomas Brown, 33, Varnish Maker, born Hull
Annie Brown, 29, wife, born Northallerton, Yorks
Annie M Brown, 5,
Thos Wm. , 3
Jas Ed, 2
Charlotte, 4 months

Looks  this wife, Annie, died and Thomas remarried between 1881 and 1891. I will double check the eldest daughter's name in '91 but am fairly sure it is down as Alice.

My mistake, Eldest daughter is definitely Annie M Brown.

Hi Waterloo and Jen,

I hope you both don't mind me interupting .. and I wouldn't normally do this. It's just with Brown being such a fairly common surname, there are several possible candidates with similar names on the census returns.

I thought it may help for me to add that I also looked for Thomas William and Jen has found exactly the same information that I would have posted .. the birth registration in Sculcoates is the only one for this time.

Kindest regards,

Pels
