Hi I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with this.
It is probably a long shot but I'm trying to find out some information about my GG Grandfather Thomas Patrick Nolan's family (Siblings and parents - as I can't seem to find any)
This is all the information I have on him.
Thomas Patrick Nolan born 1870 in Bermondsey
Married Catherine Welch (Walsh/Welsh - it changes all the time) September 16 1889
His fathers name is James Nolan but other than that I have completely hit a dead end.
Thanks ever so much in advance for any help

As you know that his father's name is James; does that mean that you have his birth certificate? If you haven't you could do this and find what his father's occupation was, and this may help you as regards finding him on the 1871 and 1881 censuses. The reference is: Born in the June 1870 quarter in the St. Olave district 1d 229.

Jane's age varies somewhat, but I don't think that this is too unusual! This age equates with the 1881 but not the 1871 census.
I have found a baptism for her: Jane Murdock baptised 14 January 1838, born 4 December 1837 to Thomas and Jane Murdock at St. John, Horselydown Parish Church, Southwark. Her father Thomas was a 'slater'

Now found a marriage:
Jane Murdock married James Nolan at St. John's. Horselydown, Southwark on 27 October 1867. Jane's father was Thomas Murdock a 'slater' and James father was Denis Nolan a 'tanner' Both were of full age. James was a 'white leather staker'
I do believe that we have the right family!
