Thomas Wilfred Mugridge 1907-1997

Hi,
This is a curley one.
In the 1911 census Thomas Wilfred Mugridge sometimes spelt Mogridge is with his grandfather.
There is a marraige of a Thomas Mugridge in 1906 BUT the son of his grandfather is too young and I did find a Thomas Mugridge born Totnes in the army in Malta and listed as single.
Before I purchase the certificates I wonder if any of you had any ideas who the parents of Thomas Wilfred Mugridge are.
Cheers

Hi.

 His baptism in Haberton gives mother as Mary. GRO index has no mothers maiden name so Mary was unmarried.

1891 census for grandparents shows a 4yr old daughter Mary H (Hunter) Mugridge b Harberton.  She is not with them in 1901.  Thomas Mugridge & Mary Ann Hunter married 1880

Mary H married Ernest Thomas Basten (Bastin) in 1920 & died 30.8.1932 aged 45 at the Royal Albert hospital in Plymouth

Yes that makes sence.
Mary Hunter Mugridge 1887-1932 is the second eldest child of Thomas Mugridge 1847-1918 and Mar Ann Hunter 1858-1941.
I wonder who the dad was?.

You would have to use the DNA route for that answer

Just about to tell my friend the person she thought was her great grandfather is in fact her great uncle and the lady she thought was her great aunt is now her great grandmother.
Many thanks to you all.
