Now here's something to confuse matters!!!

Another Thomas Clough born to a mother with maiden name Maddison!

Births Jun 1918 (94%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clough Thomas E Maddison Gateshead 10a 1872


Did Thomas maybe have a brother who was known by his middle name?

Myra

Myra Report 4 Jul 2008 15:05

I don't know, that is very confusing. Why would you name 2 children the same.

Myra Report 4 Jul 2008 15:08

Unless there were naughties going on.

Two sisters maybe!!

I don't know Myra. Maybe it was a way to keep the family name going.

A girl I went to school with, her whole family on her mothers side were known by their middle names. Herself & 3 of her cousins all had the same first name but were all known by their middle names. But they weren't sisters.

I first thought maybe they were two separate families but The above marriage is the only Clough / Maddison marriage.

OK Chrisa, thankyou very very much for all your help today, I am so appreciative.
I still would like to know more about Lilian Parker but I have to get off the pc now as my hubby needs to use it.
Maybe another day.
Best Regards
Myra

Your welcome Myra

When you have Lillians Marriage cert with her age & her fathers name on it will be easier to find info on her.

As I said earlier the two possible births in Gatehead would make her a lot older than you thought.
