Branching out. Can anyone help with a search for my gg-grandfather. My only details so far are that he was born about 1874. In later life he resided at12 Grove Place Salford and at some point he ran a pub called the Bulls Head in either Eccles or Salford. I need help to find his parent/s. I seem to recall a rumour that his mother was unmarried and this may be why its difficult to find him as I am sure they were Catholics (my father was) and I dont know if he ever had any other siblings
-
What was his name? :) :)

His name would help I suppose. Duh ! It was Thomas Tomlinson.

Hi,
There is a Thomas William Tomlison born 1873, Salford married to Hannah Cope in 1895
Would this be the correct one? If not do you have details of who he married and any children's names to help locate him?

Hi
Sorry did not read your request properly
If TT is the one found in census the father is
Thomas born 1843 in Wigglesworth Yorkshire
and Mother Elizabeth born 1849 in Llanrwst Denbighshire
Thats if JJ and I are correct

Hi
If Thomas b 1843 is the right man then his Mam & dad are Mary b1820 Wigglesworth and William b 1820 Wigglesworth

I think you may have found them. I think I am mixing up dates with both TT being father and son. I have not come across any other near enough matches, I can now hopefully further my search in the right area. Many thanks again

Hi,
Sorry I'm a bit confused :-[
Looking at these posts it seems that the Thomas TOMLINSON from the 1891 census at the Bull's Head was born in 1852, Salford and in the 1881 census he was born in 1854, Manchester.

If these are right then his marriage to Mary Ann HARRISON gives his father's name as Samuel. Do you have the birth cert. of Alfred born 1874 to check his mother's name?
I can't see a son Thomas born about 1873 to this couple.
The Thomas William TOMLINSON born 1873 married to Hannah doesn't seem to have any connections to the addresses you mention.
Which Thomas is yours?
I hope I'm not causing confusion.

Daisy
