Len

You wrote

"I think he was born Yorkshire but moved to London, Hackney or Shoreditch."

Earlier, you said you have the birth cert.......so it doesn't make sense to say that

Reggie - I think Len answered the wrong question & he meant that Thomas's father John was born Yorkshire - Halifax according to the census

Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)

Born Halifax/Denholme/west Yorkshire - who knows he changes his mind with every census. I just can't find him as a carpenter/joiner prior to 1861 - all the ones I can find are something to do with weaving so highly unlikely. Or all the John Ogden's I can see in 1851 (married) are still with their wives in 1861.

So why didn't they marry?

Anything & everything! No the photo is no longer my g-grandmother (or at least I don't think it is)
