yes, this is the marriage certificate I am awaiting. I know he was in Grimsby around WW1, because a transcription on the internet lists him as living at 125 Orwell street, which was the home of the Lea family. The information allegedly came from Grimsby reference library and lists Grimsby men who fought in WW1, so that will be my mission tomorrow. He was still in Grimsby until his death in 1963 and I have found his burial, which suggests he was 70 years old and a fisherman. I may have to get his death certificate, as this may tell me where he was born. The only other feasible Thomas Ormsby in England really, that I can find in the 1911 census was in and from Lancashire and a coal miner. I have looked for his wife Sarah's death and cannot find this either. She was definitively born in November 1895 and the only obvious match is for a woman who died in Dublin in 1955. This and the Dublin Fusiliers makes me wonder whether he actually came from there and she was visiting family. His eldest child died in 1920 as an infant from the oh so common convulsions in a very rough part of Grimsby, he was then a labourer, almost certainly down the docks. The child's name was Catherine. I have found a census return for 1911 and 1901, in Dublin at Hacket's court Wood Quay, which has a Thomas Ormsby aged 7/17 with a mother named Catherine, so I am kind of wondering......I think his father may have been Patrick, but he was not with them in 1911 and my Thomas didn't name any of his sons Patrick......so I will need the marriage record, stuck until then
