Find Ancestors

I have found Harry Thayre on the 1901 census but cannot find him on the 1911 census. Any ideas will be appreciated please.

The nearest I can find on the l9ll census is for a Henry THYER b l885 Sussex, single, a boarder with a family called Humphrey at Croydon.
Alice states she is single on the l9ll (if it is the correct person). Perhaps they put single, because they were not living together at the time of the census.
Do you know if Harry emigrated - or the names of their children please. Do you have any news of Harry after the l9ll census.
Kind regards, Liz

Hello again Liz, Harry Thayre was born december 1882 and him and Alice Lee married April1908. Their daughter Beatrice Frances Winifred ( Topsy ) was born at Broadbridge Heath, Horsham in September 1908. My husband and his sister grew up knowing and visiting their grandfather. I have mislaid a registered envelope that my husbands grandfather ( Harry )sent to my husband on his birth and I wanted to check the address. Harry lived in Bournemouth until his death in the sixties. Will try and find out if my sister-in-law can remember when he went there. My husband went into the Navy in the fifties so he doesn't remember anything like that. Kind Regards, Tricia.

Thanks for the details, please let me know when you find more, and I can look again. Did Alice emigrate without Harry?
I will ask Trev's cousin who has lived in Crawley all his life if he knows the name Thayre.
Kind regards, Liz

Hi Liz,found the registered envelope but doesn't have an address from Davids ( my husbands)grandfather ( Harry ) but post mark is Bournemouth. We know he lived in bournemouth until his death in 1964. We believe that Alice and Harry did part but do not know when.We also believe that Topsy went to live with her grandparents in New Street, Crawley when she was two or three. We know that Alice probably went to America without Harry as we have a letter that Davids mother sent to her father notifying him of Alices death in America. Kind Regards, Tricia.

Hi again Liz, perhaps Alice was american as on a couple of her post cards she says that Topsy's cousin in America had sent her a post card but then another post card franked in Surrey she says she is busy with the company. Our daughter says we will never find out but I would like to give it a good go. Thank you for being so kind and helpful.Kind Regards, Tricia.

Hi again Liz, sorry, Topsy's grandparents lived in West Street,New Town, Crawley. My brain not working properly at moment. Kind Regards, Tricia.

Thanks for the updates. Trev's Mum had a friend called Topsy, we met her once in the l970's, will ask Trev's cousin if he knows more. Trev can't remember Topsy's surname.
Regards, Liz

Thanks for reply Liz, we don't know if there was anyone that knew her by the name of Topsy as she got older,but she was very good at keeping things seperate.We didn't know of it until we went through her things.We didn't know she had any of her cousins around until her diamond wedding anniversary when we met them. That was in 1993. Sadly by the time we've found out things they have passed on too. Kind Regards, Tricia.

Tricia - please do you have the address where Alice was living when she married
Thanks, Liz

Monday - Trev has just spoken to his cousin in Crawley, who does not recognise the surname, the surname of Topsy (Trev's Mum's friend) was White. Have you tried a search on this site for any members looking for Thayre/Thayer families - (there is a member called Paul who has William b l886 at Ifield in his tree). Perhaps they would know more about Harry.

Hi Liz, thanks for trying. The address for Alice and Harry at the time of their wedding was Broadbridge Heath,Horsham. That is the only address we have for her. Thanks for advice.Will give it a go. Kind Regards, Tricia.
