Thomas Southern born in Abram Lancashire 1750
« on: Tuesday 20 May 14 06:57 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information about Thomas's parents and children. I know that he married Margaret Peggy Orme on Jan 4 1774 and they had at least one child Margaret who arrived in Australia as a convict on the 23rd of June 1804.
Regards
Greg

Sometimes, if a child died, a second child was given the same name. Although I can't find a baptism for your Thomas, given that he named his first son George, if the above baptisms are correct, I wondered about this one:

Thomas Southern
christening: 21 February 1752 WIGAN,LANCASHIRE,ENGLAND
death: 11 October 1758 
 
father: George Southern
mother: Rachel

perhaps it is a bit too late to be a brother of your Thomas.

Hi Greg,
There is a burial for a Margaret Southern wife of Thomas which could possibly be yours,
Buried 20 Aug 1817 All Saints Wigan, age 64 and died of fever
There's a baptism for a Margaret Orme 1753 Leigh Lancashire with father John.
 Also a Thomas Southern buried 17 Jan 1850 All Saints Wigan aged 99 years.

You can find these records on the same website as the marriage and baptisms.
It's well worth a look,there is a wealth of information on it and you might find other records for the Southern family.
