Hi TracyW,
He was definately born on the 1846 date as i have his birth certificate. His wife's maiden name was Sarah Edwards Bowbrick.
Good thought about looking at the area around the regimental depot in regard to the census, didn't clock that one at all...doh..!!
I'll need to find out whether the regiment, which had two battalions at this point, made up from the old 99th and the 62nd, had one on home duty recruiting and one on foreign duty which was normally the case.
I know his wife travelled with the regiment to South Africa as his son was born out there in 1879.
Their children were Ethel (born 1874) Stephen Joseph (born 1879) Lilly (born 1884)
The date you have for the Thomas Joseph Wilson death puts him at 69 whereas he would have been 63 in 1909....
Thanks for looking this up though, any further help or suggestions you may have would be great...I need all the help i can get...hope the above info you asked helps you help me..!!
Regards

Hi Rosie99,
I have him in the 1851 census in high bridge, I then jump forward to his marriage certificate of 1874, a birth certificate of his son in 1879 when he is out in South Africa with the regiment fighting the Zulu's and then to his son's marriage certificate (original) of 1898 which still has his fathers profession down as soldier, the son now living in London, so presuming that at this time he is still alive and not yet retired from the army.
So with regard to the census i would not know where to start looking.
Any ideas?
Regards

Hi Fellow Ancestry Nuts,
I am trying to track down what happened to my GG-Grandfather, Thomas Joseph Wilson born in High Bridge, Newcastle on 08-09-1846 to Thomas and Jane Wilson.
He was in the 99th regiment of foot and fought in the Zulu War of 1879. I can't find his army discharge papers or locate where or when he died.
Any help or info would be appreciated.
Regards

Hi Hilda,
Sorry I have not been in touch for a while, work is very busy at the moment.
The good news is that Becky, my daughter, got into Portsmouth University and is enjoying it.
We will probably go down again in Jan/Feb time so nearer the time I will e-mail and organise to meet up with you again for a coffee.
Snowed in at the moment so am working from home, took five minutes out to look to see if anyone had got any further on the family history.
Went to see Asylum Road, where Thomas and Sarah lived, it is only ten minutes from where I work, unfortunately the house is not there any more, it has a 'Toys R Us' carpark over the top of it..great..!!
Hope all is well with your family, see you soon for a catch up.
Regards

Hi James,
My direct bowbrick ancestry stops after Sarah Edwards Bowbrick married my paternal GG Grandfather Thomas Joseph Wilson as per my previous notes, my paternal grandfather Cyril Thomas Bowbrick Wilson was born in December 12th 1900 so missed out on WWI (what a year and month to be born in..!!) being too young and ending just a month before his 18th birthday.
Would be interested in any info you have on your Bowbrick line.

Hi Bruce,
Henry John Bowbrick & Jane Flisher had a daughter, Sarah Edwards Bowbrick who married Thomas Joseph Wilson, they had a son Stephen Joseph Wilson who married Gertrude Page Scoones, they had a son called Cyril Thomas Bowbrick Wilson who was my paternal Grandfather.
Henry John Bowbrick would be my GGG Grandfather.
My grandfather's brother was called Arnold Edward Wilson so the two boys were given christian names taken from their grandmothers maiden name Sarah Edwards Bowbrick.
So this makes myself and your wife some kind of cousins..!!
Regards
Andy

Hi everyone,
Welcome to Bruce, this family is getting larger all the time...I hope Bruce that you can shed some light on our Henry John Bowbrick's parents...!!
We seem to have hit a bit of a wall....or as Philip in an earlier posting...our Bowbrick wall.
If we can sort out our 'enry we can all move forward..!!

Hi everyone,
The plot thickens..!!
Don't you just love this ancestry chase...so back to the drawing board for myself and Elizabeth147 on our common ancester, Thomas Bowbrick father of Henry John Bowbrick.
Delambo, your tree is great, very impressive site....I hope that at some point there is a cross over with our Bowbricks and yours.
Elizabeth, we will have to keep looking, I beleive that we will be coming down to Portsmouth in the next few weeks, I've noted the dates you are away and will arrange convenient date with you shortly...we are still waiting on some dates from our friends.
In the meantime, good luck and good hunting..!! Regards Andy28
