Thomas Thomas

[gnorman]

Hi, I have some info for a relative, Thomas Thomas born 1851 in Manchester. I've been helped to find prison records for 1874-1878 which lists him as being married with one child. I know he has a further child Emily Thomas in 1880 and that by 1901 his wife is getting remarried and is listed as being widowed. If I am correct Thomas' father is called Owen and Thomas was a Carter or an Outside worker (as listed on his daughters wedding certificate). I'm fairly certain the mothers maiden name was Margaret Mattison and I can only find one possible other birth for a Mary Ellen Thomas with the same mothers maiden name in 1873.

I'm just looking to see if anyone can help me confirm Mary Ellen as the correct child and possibly Thomas' date of death (I may have asked this before but I have memory issues and cant find this in any of my paperwork).

Many thanks, Luke

I know he has a further child Emily Thomas in 1880 and that by 1901 his wife is getting remarried and is listed as being widowed.

Could you please you give further details of his wife
on 1901 censuses and whom/when did she remarry?

Edit

Do you know the whereabouts of Margaret, Mary Ellen or Emily Thomas in 1891?

If I am correct Thomas' father is called Owen and Thomas was a Carter or an Outside worker (as listed on his daughters wedding certificate).

I'm fairly certain the mothers maiden name was Margaret Mattison and I can only find one possible other birth for a Mary Ellen Thomas with the same mothers maiden name in 1873.

I'm just looking to see if anyone can help me confirm Mary Ellen as the correct child

I assume you are referring Mary Ellen's marriage and not Emily's?
When/who did she marry?
Does it indicate if her father Thomas is deceased?
Who witnessed the marriage?

Thanks guys, I didn't have the census. I don't have an 1891 Census for any of the family and didnt know even the name of Mary Ellen until today.

My great grandma is Emily; she married William Jones in 1900 in Oldham. William died in WWI and in 1917 married Robert Jones (no relation to William) - on this second marriage certificate the brides father is listed as deceased. I have Emily on the 1901 Census and beyond.

Margaret married Lot Butterworth and died in 1920. She is now buried with her daughter Emily in Oldham. On the 1901 Census she is living in Oldham with Lot and James Butterworth, Lot's son.

I really appreciate all this help, thank you!

Margaret married Lot Butterworth and died in 1920.

She is now buried with her daughter Emily in Oldham.

On the 1901 Census she is living in Oldham with Lot and James Butterworth, Lot's son.

Is this the correct 1901 census?

Was Lot Butterworth's first wife also named Margaret?

To add to the 1911 entry - Lot and Margaret are said to have been married for 4 years, 1 child still living.

This looks to be Thomas Thomas on 1891 census with wife and daughter, Margaret born Dublin

I wonder if their dau Mary Ellen Thomas (mmn Mattison) died and that’s why she’s not on 1891 census with her parents & sister
