I saw that one Jim, but in 1901 that boy is still with dad (mums gone) (and this Thomas was apparently elsewhere with wife and kiddie?) Everything else seems to fit - was he a carman on the marriage cert? Dad shown as stoker - aka as ships fireman - but bit of a mystery??? Name: Thomas Graham Age: 19 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1882 Relation: Son Father's Name: John Gender: Male Where born: Poplar, Middlesex, England Civil Parish: Poplar Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter Limehouse County/Island: London Country: England Street address: Occupation: Carman Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View Image Registration district: Poplar Sub-registration district: Poplar ED, institution, or vessel: 22 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 353 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Graham 13 Ellen Graham 18 John Graham 45 Theresa Graham 11 Thomas Graham 19

On the marriage cert what address did he give as residence and what was his occupation? Who were the witnesses - as he was under full age - assume mum and dad must have agreed to the marriage? You say from the kids birth certs you have his fathers name - you mean his marriage cert, dont you.

Can anyone help or advise me I'm looking for any information on Thomas Graham born 1881c?? this is what I know; Thomas Graham married Emily Louisa Mardle 1899 Walworth, Southwark. (aged 20 on marriage certificate) 1901c living as a family with daughter Catherine b1900 all living at 38 Elliotts Row London Southwark. (Thomas is aged 20 on this census) From their childrens birth certificates I know his fathers name was John Graham. I also know that Thomas met Emily in the Shoreditch area. Thomas and Emily spent their married life here, where they had their children. I also know he died between 1926 and 1946 but cannot pinpoint him on BMD. Please can anyone help/advise me on how to go about finding out more about him I have got some birth certificates for Thomas' born around this time but how can I be sure I have the right one. Thanks for reading this. Yours in desparation Clair
