Thanks so much.  Indeed, a sad end.

Hi again

Sorry, didn't give enough info...

The Thos I am looking for was listed as 40 in 1861, making his DOB 1821.

The name seems to be very common in the latham/lathen/lathan tree - there's at least one in every generation.

I have a thomas Latham in my tree, listed as born in Horsley Northumberland according to the 1861 census, when he was living in south Shields.

I cannot find any record of his birth. I have searched for Lathem / Lathan / Lathen / Leatham / Laytham / Lotham

Nearest I can get to is a Thos Leatham listed in lowick in 1851.

Anyone got any ideas how I can tie him down?

Thanks in advance

Thanks sooo much!  I had not seen that from 1891, I had only spotted them in 1901.  There has been a huge mystery surrounding my Grandfather (Elizabeth's grandson) - even Granmother thought she would be Mrs Moody right up till the day of their wedding.

Thanks again.  I'll follow that clue.

Hi
Could anyone shed some light on this puzzle?

GGGmother Elizabeth Rhoades was widowed in 1884, remarried John Edward Moody in 1887.

1881 census shows her living with first husband Benjamin and two daughters (one became my GGmother).

1901 census shows her living with new husband John Moody, and 4 sons and another daughter.  Two older daughters now in service.

The two older boys (Benjamin b 1882 and John Thomas b 1886) I had presumed to be John Moody's from a previous marriage.  BUT I have not traced birth records for these boys as Moody, but have traced births of two possible boys named Rhodes.

It could be that the two boys adopted mum's new surname, but John Thomas was born two years after the death of Benjamin Rhodes.

Does anyone have these people in their tree?
How accurate are birth certificates likely to be?  Would a widow declare the true father of a child born after her husband's death?  Elizabeth married John Moody from a separate address to his.

Any help or enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thanks
