Title: Can you look up someone via there work place?
Post by: Marytm on Tuesday 05 January 21 16:13 GMT (UK)

Hello All,
I hope everyone is safe and well.
I have a strange man that's appeared on a Child's death and another child's birth certificate.
In my tree I have a Sarah Ann Lilley also called May, born in Dudley in 1873 married to a Thomas Rowland Thexton in Sheffield in 1893.
On the 1901 Census I cannot find Sarah Ann (Lilley) Thexton or her two year old son Harry.
Their eldest son Gilbert is 7 and at school. Thomas is boarding and it says single? Accidently?

In 1904 Sarah gives birth to a Mary Lydia in Sheffield, the birth Cert says Thomas Rowland Thexton is Dad.
She unfortunately dies in Norwich that same year and her Death Cert says a Charles Henry Thexton/Thetford is Dad.It says he is a Public House Manager and address is 45 Timberhill Norwich.
Sarahs next child I have as Edna May Thexton born in Norwich on 9th Nov 1905.The only birth I can find is a Sarah Edna and her birth Cert. as Charles Henry Thetford as Dad. May Thetford formerly Thexton as Mum .Born at the Mariners Inn, Wymondham.

Now my questions are which Charles Henry Thetford is this can I look him up through his Pub?
Is it all a mistake and have I got the wrong person ? But it is strange on the Death cert for one child and birth cert for another not just one of them?
Would it be possible not to register a child? Maybe these are not the same children?

Sarah ultimately is back with Thomas Rowland and they have two more children, Patricia my Nan and Rowland.

Any help or advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks Marytm

Newspaper snippet 1905
Transfers
"Lord Nelson, St John, Timberhill, from Charles Henry Thetford to Walter Geore Stubbs".
On the 1901 Census the Lord Nelson PH is at 45 Timberhill Street (different landlord).

Oh that's interesting as he is at the Mariners Inn Wymondham in 1905.
Maybe he left from one to the other.
 I would like to know if he was married or not. I wonder if Edna was his or Thomas Rowlands.
Thanks

  Thanks for all your help.
  I will have a look at that Charles Henry Thetford.
  I found another one working at a Workhouse as a Bathman? But I don't think he would
be running a Pub.

Thank you
