Tracing a family member

[hamali]

Hi there

Can anybody help I am trying to trace a Thomas Robertson again as I have new info. Ok I have his marriage cert and in 1896 he is 44 a painter and dad is also Thomas he is deceased and down as a Inland rev officer. He marries in Blandford Dorset.

Then I have his daughter marriage cert and Thomas now has a middle name George he is still down as a painter & decorator.

I also have his death cert and he dies in 1923 in Dorset age 72

I have him on census from 1901 & 1911 but I cant go back on him unless I have missed him completely on census it says he comes from Harwick Suffolk.

Thanks Ali

says he comes from Harwick Suffolk.

Looking at the 1901 Enumerators Page it clearly says Harwich - which is Essex !

So this looks good in the 1861 census - the family are now in Lowestoft, Suffolk (just north of Harwich I believe)

RG 9/Piece 1187 Folio 63 Page 25
