Find Ancestors

Do you know for sure he was born Gladwin ?

There's a possibilty his mother married/ remarried and changed his name.

Just a thought.

Do you know any of his siblings?
Who is he living with on the early censuses you've found him on ?

Oh well, nice try but it doesn't look as if I am going to find the refs for a certificate. Never mind. :-)

Thanks for that Mike Will do. I thought it may be a submitted one.

Strangely on one census he gives place of birth as Littleover Derbys but can't find it under Derbyshire in FreeBMD either. (checked free BMD on Ancestry as well.

another mystery!!! Family history life is full of them.

The familysearch entry is only a submitted one , not extracted from parish records so ttreat with caution.
...
and ..
.If this is his death cert ( the only one I can see for 1923) it may be worth getting

Deaths Dec 1923
GLADWIN Thomas - 79 - Medway 2a 816

I checked Family search and I note the info is available on find my past which I don't have. If anybody can check on there I would be grateful. Thanks

Thanks Mike. It is not on free BMD so I can't find the refs to get the certificate. But thank you anyway.

As Derek seems to be busy and hasn't returned. If anyone can find what he found and give me the refs I would be very grateful thank you.

Hoping that Derek will come back to me when he can but didn't want the thread to get lost. :-)

Going for lunch, back afterwards.

Derek that sounds like the right one. How did you find that. Many thanks for any info that you have.

Hi Ann, I have looked at the Staffs bmds and no results coming up between 1837 and 1847.

Hi Ann..I have found THOMAS GLADWIN 03.04.1844 Burton on Trent..father Thomas.........did he die1923???

I have the records to follow this up if it is right.


Derek.

Please can anyone help find a birth for Thomas GLADWIN born roughly 1844-1846 according to censuses. On his RM records he gives his birth as 3 April 1844 Burton upon Trent.

I have him on all censuses from 1861 (when he is on board H.M.S. Neptune in Malta) to 1911, all say he was born in Burton-Upon-Trent Staffs.

His father was also Thomas GLADWIN and we think maybe a merchant seaman. There may be a link to Wexford in Ireland.

Armed services births and births at sea have been checked to no avail.

The Thomas Gladwin born 1843 in Bakewell Derbys is not the correct one.


Thanks if anyone has any suggestions.
