Find Ancestors

Thank You Dea

I've been looking for his war record and I can't find one for him but that means nothing as so many of them were destroyed in WW11 and the CWGC site seems to have a glitch at the moment so I can't find out is he died in WW1.

Could Augustus have signed up WW1 he would only have been 32 or 33yrs old?

Augustus Charles Tomlinson seems to have disappeared after 1911 Census

Not to worry. I'm clutching at straws here!

That one is Augustus Joseph, Astra so wrong man, I'm afraid.

Can't find a death for Agnes either

It looks as though Agnes followed him later

Someone with a worldwide subscription may be able to find them on the US census for you

EDIT: Don't think she is correct as she is noted as Maid and appears to be travelling with Lord and Lady Wimborne.

Thank you
Looking for his death tried Free BMD, Lanc's BMD and Familysearch sites but no luck

1891 census has him living in Bolton with his parents John and Sarah J Tomlinson

and his two brothers and a sister.
His father was a joiner.

Thanks lostmeboardname will do that

His birth was in Audenshaw Lancashire which is a part of Ashton under Lyne district.
You can obtain his birth certificate from
Registrars Office
Tameside M B C
Town Hall
Dukinfield Cheshire.

the reference is
AUD/45/10
mothers maiden name Hutchinson.

even though Ashton under Lyne is in Lancashire, the BMD records are under Cheshire...

He married Agnes Cooper b:1883 Kingstone Canada they married in Bolton Lancashire
Augustus was living at 296 Ainsworth Lane Bolton at the time of the 1911 Census, Occupation shown as Joiner
