Find Ancestors

Can anyone please help me with a death for Thomas John Trevett (sometimes known as Jack). Here is what I have so far:

born 07.02.1876 (birth cert Woolwich vol 1d pg 1065 Q1)
Married ElizaEllen Hollis (marriage cert 1897 vol 1a pg 908 Q2)

1881 census living 43 King Street Woolwich
1891 census living Watsons Wharf, South Woolwich
1897 living 27 Sussex street
1900 living 22 Thomas Street Woolwich
1901 census living 26 Ann Street Woolwich/Plumstead
1909 living 21 Caletock Street Greenwich
1911 Living 26 Glenforth Street Greenwich (Coal/Ash man)
1912 living 17 Orlop Street Greenwich

His wife remarried in 1922 so I am presuming that he died between 1912 and 1922, possibly during WW1?

Any help would be gratefully received. :-)

Did you know he was in and out of the Workhouse in 1907?

I was just looking at the workhouse records. I hadn't seen them before but it had been mentioned that the family had spent time in the workhouse and that some of the children ended up in orphanages.

Shirley, yes she is down as a widow however I have come to learn that people did not always tell the truth :-S

There was obviously some sort of marriage break-up during 1907 .... she is noted as being at a different address on that 21 May 1907 admission. Plus he has the children with him

I can't see him on the military records on ancestry ........ but only about 30-40% of the WW1 records survive, so that doesn't mean too much.

there is only one Thomas j trevett born 1976 in uk

Sylvia: Thank you for pointing out the different address. I had overlooked that. The break up obviously didn't last too long as they went on to have several more children.

Maylon: Thank you for the information you have found, however Frederick is still alive in 1911 so the death in 1905 cannot be him. The census record is correct and at that time they are living in Glenforth Street.

The naturalisation record that malyon has posted is for Thomas Trevitt of 184, Parker Street, S Manchester, Conn.

There are several entries in different years in the City Directories for Thomas C Trevitt, with a very similar address:

Thomas C Trevitt
Residence Year: 1946
Street address: 194 Parker
Residence Place: Manchester, Connecticut, USA
Occupation: Traffic Manager
Publication Title: Manchester, Connecticut, City Directory, 1946

possibly this man:
Births Sep 1877
TREVITT Thomas Charles W. Derby 8b 886

Added:
No, this death:
Deaths Dec 1881
TREVITT Thomas Charles 4 W. Derby 8b 299

I would think it unlikely that he emigrated however anything is possible. However as he is Thomas John Trevett I should think that the records do not belong to him.

I have tried looking for records on the CWGC, freeBMD, FMP, Ancestry and Genes and, as I can find no other evidence, I am just presuming that he must be a casualty of the war who's records did not survive and therefore cannot be found :-(

Malyon posted the birth as 1905 for Frederick not his death

She posted his death too as !972

Apologies. I read it incorrectly. Sorry Malyon

could Thomas have immigrated

I looked in the war dead site there was a Thomas but he was only 23yrs
