Title: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: sezzle on Tuesday 05 February 13 19:35 GMT (UK)
updated:

i know who the children of Thomas jnr are, but i dont know where he was in 1891 or 1901
i also need to find Thomas Snr who passed before 1921
thats where im at now ::) (before i delve into Bridgets side)

Thomas Buckley (jnr) b1881 married Bridget Wyse (wise) in 1903 in Ireland, moved back to Manchester in 1906ish with Bridget and children. In 1911 he was a foundry labourer.
Later married Elizabeth Ridings/Harding in 1921
His occupation was labourer, age 41
His father, also Thomas Buckley (snr)is listed as dead in 1921, his occupation was lithographic printer.

Im now trying to locate where Thomas Buckley Jnr was pre 1900 and also more info on his dad :)

Thanks for the help so far guys :) its clearing up my confusion so much!

Hello,

do you not have the marriage details from the  Bridget Wyse marriage? That may help with his occupation and perhaps verify his father's name.

Hi
John Thomas Buckley married in Oct-nov-dec 1927 Portsmouth spouse called Sturmey

There is a birth record for John Thomas Buckley Ireland Civil registration Births Index.

Was Thomas's  second wife called Mary Ann Ridings? If so, they married in 1917 at Ashton under Lyne, Christ Church. www.cheshirebmd.org.uk

There is a possibility for Bridget in 1901 - Limerick and a few T B entries for Limerick - born England and within the age range. http://www.nationalarchives.ie/

Looking on familysearch, there is a Bridget Wise born Jan-mar 1885 Limerick which fits with the  census.

There is a death for
Bridget Buckley aged 36 born about 1884 in 1920 Chorlton, Manchester
Vol 8c page 706

so this might make the 1921 marriage correct

Bridget died and he remarried, now going off the bmd the year was 1917 but i went to view the record and it was 1921 :-\ confusing much?


There is a tree - yours I think which has the 2 marriages:

Free BMD shows the 1917 marriage to Mary A

The tree then has the 1921 marriage to Elizabeth Ridings in Miles Platting but I can't see this on Free BMD.

Perhaps both should not have married in 1917 but on the death of one or other spouse they were free to marry and had a church wedding?  No- I see they married at Christ Church- sorry.

Have you seen the certificate re 1921 did you say?

Oh dear- just seen the other marriage on Lancashire BMD  ::) Elizabeth Harding/ Ridings.

Is this the same person as Mary Ann?

There are these possible marriages to look at

Thomas M Buckley and Alice Lamb at Manchester Cathedral
Thomas Buckley and Alice Newall at Manchester St John

Going back to the Ridings/Buckley marriage - if your ancestor was Elizabeth then perhaps there were two marriages with same surnames but yours is the 1921 marriage and not 1917. This would then fit with Bridget's death as Heather points out.
Hopefully that solves one of your problems.  :)

Bear with me, I'm on my mobile,
I haven't seen Bridget's marriage record, they were married in a barracks, I will get the name tomoro as I've forgotten it but I didn't have any luck finding where their records were kept x

Hi
John Thomas Buckley married in Oct-nov-dec 1927 Portsmouth spouse called Sturmey

There is a birth record for John Thomas Buckley Ireland Civil registration Births Index 1864-1958 but I don't have the right subscription to view it on Ancestry.

Was Thomas's  second wife called Mary Ann Ridings? If so, they married in 1917 at Ashton under Lyne, Christ Church. www.cheshirebmd.org.uk

Heather

That's the right birth record, they moved to manchester when my g-gran was 5 (Mary)
Much history is lost as Mary passed away when my gran was very young so details are sketchy

No that's not the right marriage record for Thomas but thanks for the John Thomas one, I think I've forgot how to work ancestry :head slap:

Yes her surname varies, it changes from wyse to wise, I checked the irish census and found her there :)

I think that is where I got confused, I was told her name was Elizabeth ridings, but the only ridings married to Thomas Buckley I found was Mary Ann so I saved it, that clears that one up tho

Yes I saw the second marriage record, his father is listed as Thomas Buckley deceased, I'll dig my sheet out tomoro after work with his occupation on :)  but Elizabeth's father was George Harding and she was also a widower so that cleared that one up

Post by: heywood on Tuesday 05 February 13 22:48 GMT (UK)
That doesn't look to be the right Thomas Buckley in 1901 in Louth.

Bridget is with her parents John and Mary in Limerick in 1901.

The T B s in Limerick in 1901 are in different barracks. Occupations vary -Clerk ; Collier; Cutler and a Labourer.

I hope you find the records again. Perhaps it was St Patrick's Church.

Hmm not sure now, that was one thing my gran was sure of.... I shall have a nosey about after I finish school later,

As for Thomas bUckley the father, he was listed as a lithographic printer on the 1921 marriage record, the Thomas marrying Elizabeth is listed as a labourer
Title: Re: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: heywood on Wednesday 06 February 13 08:43 GMT (UK)
The 1921 marriage is to Elizabeth.
I think you need to get the certificate for Bridget's marriage and ensure you have the right second marriage.

bah being on a phone makes things harder lol
the 1921 marriage is correct (i was told her name was elizabeth harding, but was only able to find the ridings record, then when i went to view it it had elizabeths dad as a harding)

so so far i know that

Thomas Buckley married Bridget in 1903 (been told st pats barracks but need to confirm)
He later married Elizabeth in 1921, His age was 41 and his occupation was a labourer (on the 1911 census he is listed as foundry labourer)
His father (also Thomas) is listed as dead but his occupation is Lithographic Printer.

i know who the children of Thomas jnr are, but i dont know where he was in 1891 or 1901
i also need to find Thomas Snr who passed before 1921
thats where im at now ::) (before i delve into Bridgets side)
going to update orginal post :)

thanks for your help so far :D :-*

Hello again,

you don't need to update your original post as the developments are usually shown throughout the thread.
It may be that Thomas has invented/enhanced his father and his occupation. It may not be so. That is why it would be good to get the Bridget Wyse marriage certificate to see what information he gives there.
It would also hopefully explain where Thomas is in 1901.

1881 census:

Buckley, Thomas  Head  M  32  Tile Cutter

Buckley, Mary A  Daughter  F  6

Thomas snr here (1881)  is a File Cutter (not Tile Cutter) and the family are here:
1891 : 3169/ 71/ 17

Alice is a widow and young Thomas is now a file cutter also. There is now also a daughter Jane aged 9 yrs.

Title: Re: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: heywood on Wednesday 06 February 13 16:45 GMT (UK)
sorry for repetition. :)

They are File Cutters though. (No Lithographic Printers as yet!)
Title: Re: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: sezzle on Wednesday 06 February 13 17:06 GMT (UK)
i havent a clue ???

i have no info of the family other than thomas jnrs children and i had thought names would run through...
his children are John Thomas 1903, Mary Catherine 1905, James Henry 1908, Elizabeth 1916 and Bridget Buckley (1920) Bridget snr died in 1920 during childbirth.
There is also a possible Margaret but i cant find a record of her, she would be younger than John and Mary though as they were born in Limerick.
My gran remembers her mum Mary wasnt allowed out with aunt marg because she was a bad influence (according to marys husband)

After he remarried he went on to have Ada and William Henry Buckley.

so going off the name theory.....
its possible that as theres an Elizabeth and a Mary (but bridgets mum was a mary too)

gah im baffling myself again

do you think the irish marriage record would have his uk address or the place he was staying over there?
Title: Re: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: heywood on Wednesday 06 February 13 17:21 GMT (UK)
The Irish Cert should have his Irish address and occupation.

You have the idea that he was connected to the army - hopefully that would show.

I didn't check the actual 1901 census earlier so the ones I mentioned  - listed as ' T B' initials only have those occupations mentioned before enlistment.
The various regiments there seem to be Lancers and Yorkshire regiments so that's not much help.
Title: Re: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: sezzle on Wednesday 06 February 13 17:28 GMT (UK)
im wondering if he went there as a labourer and just got married at the barracks, but the family thought barracks meant he was military?

i dont know ::)
Ada is still alive but very senile so the little information i have actually comes from her, and no one seems to like questioning her any further
 :(
Title: Re: Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled
Post by: heywood on Wednesday 06 February 13 17:44 GMT (UK)
It's difficult. I would now go for that Irish certificate and see what transpires.

Good luck - do you have all the details?
