Find Ancestors

so john ....... exactly why did you start an entire new thread and sit there while people spent time 'finding' all the info that was on your thread about Richard Thick ?

and also the other children's


and of course the whole load of censuses for the family is posted there



there are instructions put in front of you when you start a thread, they are there for you to read

they say


Please don’t post about the same person or family twice as this can make extra work for the volunteer helpers.


they also say


Give as much detail as possible when explaining who you are trying to find. If known, try putting the name, place of birth and year of birth in the subject line of your thread. All known information will make it much easier for volunteer helpers to help you.


in this thread you started out once again without even giving a place name

and you very very very certainly did not give all information known to you >>>> the information I and others had already found for you in your other thread

ladykira / chris ho. thankyou for the research you have carried out , - very interesting. as you say some info was given off another tree and this is the reasons for me checking up . i think i have alot of work to do. many thanks again , regards john.

Wouldn't have thought so LK... :-)

severe vision problems?

Looks like he was discharged 1849, having loss of vision in right eye, due to ulcer on cornea.
Intended place of residence, Wincanton, Somerset.

beginning to sound like the nursery rhyme tinker tailor soldier spy........

john we can only find possible answers for you.

i have told you there are several georges and one was on the majestic and another was a baker.

from what you are saying the 1851 census is correct for his second wife. what other info do you have and what are your sources.

do not accept anything from other peoples tree without proof because they could be wrong.

just a note . the george thick i found in the 1861 census is the only one entered. the birth place is ok as is the age.

im going by the 1841 cencus. he is the second son of richard and mary ann (deceased). richards first son is my great great great grandfather

there are several georgethicks born somerset/ one was as a baker

how do you know yours was the sailor not the baker

i say that because on ancestry at least 1 person whon saved that 1851 also saved the baker.

they may or may not be correct we have to prove one way or the other.

do you have personal knowledge of him being a sailor?

how do you know father was richard?

didnt know he was serving on the majestic. thanks for that.
