Find Ancestors

Hi

I thought i could find nearly anyone on any cencus, But this one is avoiding me.
I cannot find THOMAS CLARK on the 1881 cencus, unfortunatately i cannot be sure that he is still alive then.
There is no obvious death.
He was baptised in latton in 1820, By 1851 & 1861 was living in marston maisey wiltshire.

Here he is in 1871(wrong age given).

Name: Thomas Clark
Age: 40
Estimated birth year: abt 1831
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: C Sarah
Gender: Male
Where born: Latton, Wiltshire, England
Civil parish: Stratton St Margaret
Town: Upper Stratton
County/Island: Wiltshire
Country: England
Registration district: Highworth
Sub-registration district: Highworth
ED, institution, or vessel: 15
Household schedule number: 84
Household Members:
Name Age

Julia Clark 18

Help greatly appreciated.

Found john still living in stratton next door to his brother edward.

Julia is married.

Albert disappears until he shows up again married & living in london in 1901.

Not sure on eliza yet.

Quite sure thomas's wife dies in 1875.

Sorry about delay just double checking.

Ladykira it is ok i have the 1851 & 61 cencus, but thank you.

Did you find albert in 1891on fmp, not showing up on ancestry.

EDIT-found Albert, He is Albermobby on ancestry.


richard

I hope you do not mind but I just checked your tree.

You have a possible marriage and maiden name for Sarah

may have married sarah pash 24.8.1840 in charlton kings gloucestershire.

There is a tree on ancestry with your Thomas but married to Sarah Ricketts
EDIT my mistake Sarah Ricketts is the mother of Thomas.

No further details on Sarah and no 1881 census.


I am not saying you are wrong but you may need to contact them to iron it out or may cause further problems in the future.

I guess you may already have other censuses but it helps to post them as they give extra details to look at when pputting in search parameters.

LOVE IT

I will check that tree on ancestry, But i am quite sure that is thomas's father william clark that married sarah ricketts.

This is from england & wales marriages.

Name: William Clarke
Gender: Male
Spouse's name: Sarah Rickets
Marriage Date: 7 Dec 1815
Marriage Place: Latton, Wiltshire, England


richard

See edit below

my mistake

The family spreads a bit don't though?

He may have been visiting grand children in Yorkshire and died there.

Very difficult with such a common name.

Yes clark surname not an easy one to trace, Thankfully mothers surname of BYE was a lot easier.

I will keep searching.

Thanks.

richard

How have you been getting on with the Boots side?
I have just discovered I did not contact you after my exams.

Doing pretty well with the boots side, Unfortunately not related to the family that began the boots stores.

Well my tree is still open to you.
