Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 46 Send Message	re Thomas Newby All the infomation I have is his name year of birth. I found him on the 1911 census at Whittington Lancashire age 49 with wife and 4 children. From the person I am trying to help it seems he stayed in that area. As I mentioned I have searched up to 1932 for his death and also tried to contact two people on here who have yet to reply.

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,446 Send Message	Victoria, It maybe a case of ordering the marriage certs of the children and seeing if the last ones mention whether he's still alive or not. Tracey x

	The 1891 census looks like correct parents but his age out by 10 years - is this why he has been so difficult to find?
