Thanks, Dea. (I'm here this time!!)

SO sorry to have dashed your hopes about the workhouse one Bob - It DID look very promising but I eventually managed to track him down on the census and I am afraid it does not appear to be him :-(

I will keep looking though.

Best of luck,

Hello to all of you,

Many thanks for your wonderful responses. It seems my reply is somewhat late and I do apologize. However, have mercy on me as I'm in Melbourne, Aust and, of course , the time difference is to blame.

Yes, Sylvia, I do know what happened to Mary Alice after she left Edward T (I have to include the T, as there are lots of other Edward Mammatts and I want to avoid any possible confusion). She went on to re-marry and I have all her details up to and including her death. However, I can find no evidence of a divorce!

Fredk, thanks for extracting those records - I've been through those sources many times but with no luck.

Dea, thank you for the Southern Cemetery info' which I did, in fact, already have. I had the very moving experience of visiting the grave during a visit to the UK last September. No help with Edward T though.

Dea & Catherine, regarding the Workhouse information (thank you) - you got me quite excited for a moment. The surname Mammatt has been subject to all sorts of spellings over the years and we all know what confusion THAT can cause! However, Dea, you then dashed my hopes and we're back to square one.

Cynthia, I've already responded to you advisory post.

Again, thank you all for trying - I'll keep plugging away. Maybe the answer lies in some record I know nothing about and which I can't access from afar. The computer can only do so much!

'Bye everybody.

Bob

False alarm on that one in the Workhouse I am afraid.

I managed to find the census image for the workhouse and he is a Grocer's assistand born in Fulbeck ?, Lincolnshire c 1852. (aged 59).

He is a widower and name is either Minnett or Minnete !

Drattt.....................

He was admitted from No 2 district (not sure where that was?) and discharged on 23rd August 1911.

Year of birth was given as 1852 so it could be a possible?

Nothing in Free BMD Deaths for Edward

I cannot find him in the 1911 Census.
Did he die also before the 1911 census or as SylviaInCanada said emmigrated

Fredk




Thank you


It was an error ....... it was the 1901 Census that I looked at, and then mis-typed.

I have now corrected it

SylviaInCanada

If that is the1911 census he is the wrong age and the poster said Joseph died in 1905

could he have emigrated??

Have you found out what happened to Mary Alice after she left him?

NOTE:-

on 1901 ancestry as Mammath <<<<<<<<<<< corrected

Name Age
Joseph Mammath 72 Retired Hall Keeper
Edward T Mammath 46 Window Cleaner

Edward Thomas Mammatt was born in Manchester in 1854 to Joseph and Ann Mammatt.He married Mary Alice Sankey in Manchester in 1881 and they had no children. She left him in the late 1890s, and Edward T was with his father, Joseph, in Manchester at the time of the 1901 Census. Joseph subsequently died in 1905, but there's no indication that Edward T. was present.
I can find no trace of Edward Thomas Mammatt after the 1901 Census and would appreciate any help in trying to find out what happened to him.
