his marriage certificate states he came from London sorry that's all I know.  Possibly faked his death after leaving the HMS Nelson, family rumour is that he left his clothes on a river bank also that he died at sea. Would be nice to know.

Not one of mine I'm sorry to say. Sounds like an interesting story.

Thomas Gillham is also my 4 x Great Grandfather. 

Looking at my records, his parents were George Gillham and Sarah Green.

I'm a descendant of his first son Frederic who married Dinah Lawrence who was born in Quebec but baptised in Dartford, Kent
