Hello, I cannot find Mark Tomlinson Gregory on the 1901 census. Other people have tried as well, without success.
He was born in Sheffield 1895. so he would have been 5 or 6 when the census was taken.
I don't know the identity of his parents, but I think they could be this pair
from freebmd
Marriages Dec 1896
Gregory William Sheffield 9c 726
Tomlinson Rose Ann Sheffield 9c 726
Can anybody help?
This is my brick wall at the moment
cheers Robert.

Per freebmd
Births Sep 1895
Mark Tomlinson Gregory Sheffield 9c 608
The marriage you found is over a year later so you need to buy a copy of his birth cert to establish his parents names
Is this query in connection with names on War Memorials etc?

Hello Carole,
I think you're right, a copy of his birth certificate may be the only way. I also think a visit to the local library is in order.
Is this query in connection with names on War Memorials etc?
Yes it is, he was KIA in 1916. The reason for my renewed interest in this man is .....
A school girl had gone to the battlefields with her school and chose Mark Tomlinson Gregory's grave to place a remembrance cross because his didn't have one. Her mother contacted me, asking if I had details on him.
Cheers
Robert.
