I am looking for any info on my great grandfather. Born 1859-60 either in Dromara, County Down, N. Ireland or Yorkshire. Death registered in Yorkshire, March quarter of 1883. Can't find birth registration in England but married Mary Ellen Bryan in Sculcoates, Hull,Yorkshire 3rd qtr of 1880. Thomas died just before my grandmother, Catherine Ellen, was born.
Thomas father was called John born c1839 Dromara, Co Down. Mothers name unknown.
Would be grateful for any help at all.
regards
Kathy

Hi again

I would query if Anthony was indeed Marys' son as she would only have been 9! Perhaps he was married before.

Thanx Lost for words and Jane.

Looks like Anthony might have been Thomas' younger brother. Could open things right up for me where I was really stuck before.
