Hi!
I am looking for were my gt.grandfather Thomas Duncan. He was born 1836 in Ireland married twice Harriet Rider then Matilda Drum. Matilda and Thomas ended up living in St. Helens, England he was a glassblower. Matilda was found in the 1901 census in Bootle, Lancashire, it states she was a widow but i can only find a death cert. for a Thomas born in Mancester.
He seems to have disappeared of the face off the world. :-(
