Info needed - Tom Stimpson - Potter's Bar 1950s

[JasonGoff]

Hi,

A long shot indeed, but I'm trying to find more information on one Tom (or Thomas) Stimpson who lived in the Potters Bar area in the 1950s.
The only information I know is that he was a coalman in the area

Any information or clues as to the direction to look in to try to uncover any leads on Tom gratefully received!

Thanks

Jason

Hi Andrea,

I think it's unlikely as it's thought he was born during WW1 so he would be nearing 100 by now.
It's known that he fathered a child from his relationship, and the object is to find sources to help identify the right Tom Stimpson in the BMD records to then trace his ancestry.
There are quite a few potential Tom Stimpsons in the death indexes, I am trying to find ways of narrowing the field before I start ordering them all!

Thanks
