Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 8 Send Message	John William Tomlinson born 1893 OR 1894. I am trying to find information about my grandfather. The story we have been told was that he was born on a ship going from India to England. His mother died giving birth to him on the ship and she was buried at sea. Her name was Beatrice Tomlinson and his father's names was also John William Tomlinson. My grandfather was brought up in a orphanage in Chatham in Kent. He was suppose to have older sisters but have no details about them. Can anyone help me with how to find any information.
