Confimation of Marriage - Joseph Wilson and Margaret Dixon 31st Dec 1898

When did John Millar die ? a bit confused with Thomasina as on some of the census forms her place of birth is Scotland ? do we have the right family ?

You don't need to start a new request just continue on here

There is a Thomasina Moore born 1847 Spittal with her husband John Moore on census forms from 1881 --to the later one ..which makes me wonder if this is the one you are looking for ?
A Thomasin Wilson baptised 1846 Tweedmouth Northumberland father Joseph Wilson Mother Lavinia ..going by the information you posted on the family members for Thomasina and John Millar I would be inclined to think this would be the family ?

Thanks Rosie
Have no sign of John Millers Death, maybe he had gone back to sea again. Yes have been confused by the Scotland bit also sometimes Berwick. Had tried to find, thinking maybe Thomasine was with Emily, but couldn't find her either.

p.s 1891 shows her as MILLER  ?

[rosie17]

Yes seen them down as Miller on the 1881 census so this is the correct family then ?

Thanks Rosie
For certain and have Thomasine (dau) and Lavinia on the '11' but no sign of Mum or Dad and in theory the should still be around at least to 1901.

Did Thomasina marry a Aaron Robinson and Lavinia marry a George Palmer ..Not having much luck finding them on later census forms  maybe they were overseas

Spot on Rosie
Have them both on '11' but they have moved around a bit - Thomasina and Aaron ' the joiner in Building industry went up river to Newburn on Tyne - four children born in south of river, three on north - John age 16 is a Pony Driver underground ( and I just fancy that the photo of the pony being fed from the driver's lunchbox -was him !)
Lavinia had a rotten time cheated and abused by a bigamist she went low for a time, followed her to 1938 IN London ( a rather long sad trail ).

However tis Mum and Dad who are hidding somewhere .

Hello Rosie

Still cannot find anything further on Thomasine and John, not even death notices - John might have gone back to sea, in which case a lost cause.

Yes you would think with a name like that she would be easy to find but no luck don't see any records on immigration ..
