Have you got his WW1 record? It's on Ancestry.

Hi Ozibird
Thankyou for your help.
His father is also Thomas Matthews occupation Greengrocer (shopkeeper) Thomas George was 21 on marriage cert. so possible 1899 birth.

I have also learned he was in ww1 as he lied about his age because he was only 16 but told them he was 18.

Don`t think that can be him on the census you found.

regards cathy

Hi all
Please can someone help to advise how to proceed,as i have trawled through so many census records etc to try to find this man.

He is my stepmothers father, and I am trying to find a birth record for him, so I can try to find out about his family.

I have his marriage cert. 1920 in Elham,Kent he married Helen Impett b. 1900 kent. I have no idea where Thomas comes from other than kath(my stepmum) remembers being told that her mum and dad took it in turns to either one go to kent and the next for the mother to go to London! while they were courting.
On the marriage cert he is recorded as living 32 Royal Military Avenue, Cheriton?! and she at 89 Canterbury Road, Folkestone.

any ideas how to go about finding him please? I have looked on freebmd,ancestry etc but there are so many of them I am unable to see an obvious match !!!


Thankyou, cathy
