His marriage in 1887 gives name of Walter Thomas Anthony Thomson (Brass finisher)
And 1911 has him as Machinist in Organ making factory.

Please dont worry about siblings.

I am only doing direct ancestors for him....

But thank you.

Going to paint bathroom ceiling now.

Finish with that one for now.

If you would search for Gladys possibilities I would be most grateful..
But I have sent for her birth today as I have a feeling she may have made daddy up .
I dont see any poss on 1911..

posting for my reference

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Spouse Age: 18
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 7 Jun 1887
Parish: St Mark, Victoria Park
County: Middlesex

If that marriage is correct then someone has him on Ancestry as
