Hi there,
I have a family in my line that disappears off the 1901 census, as far as I can see. I was wondering if anyone can help me locate any of the members? Thomas Tucker Page is one of my great-great grandfathers, I know he was born in Bermuda in 1846; and the first time I found any record of him even being in U.K, is in 1868 when he was admitted to Dreadnought's Seamen's Hospital in London. On that record he says he had been working on ships since age 13, which is perhaps why I don't find any record of him living anywhere until his marriage in 1882 in Liverpool to Mary Ann Henry (born 1862 in Liverpool). I find Thomas again on the 1891 census living in Liverpool, with his wife and the following children: Charles Thomas Page (b.1883), Mary Louisa Page (b.1885), William Francis Page (b.1889), and Francis Thomas Page (b.1890). There was an Anna Rosina Page, who was born about 1892. Thomas's wife Mary dies in 1898.
I can't find the family in 1901 anywhere, I wonder if the children were put in an orphanage? Thomas worked as a ship's cook and would have had to work to keep them. I find the family again on the 1911 census, and Thomas dies in 1915. Mary's father died in 1898 as well, so the children couldn't have been with him, but not sure where Mary's mother Anne was in 1901. As for Thomas, I don't know anything about his parents, only that his father was also Thomas Page and worked at sea, so don't think the children would have been with his family (don't even think Thomas had any UK family, besides his wife and children) Can anyone help locate the family?
