And thanks, Claire, again for that link. I'd actually just been looking into whether there might have been a cholera outbreak at the time but typhus it probably is. I'm still going to order a death certificate though to see if I can confirm it.

Thanks, Claire. He was born in 1834 so it probably is him.

It was John Roome who had the misfortune to watch first his grandson, then his wife and finally two daughters die before finally departing himself. Poor man must have thought he was cursed.

Thomas Roome from Derby seems to be accounted for as well.

Thanks for the replies.

I did look at Thomas William Roome but he seems to be accounted for.

I'm not sure how I missed Keziah Roome's death but thanks for that. Assuming William is the William Roome who died 1842 that would mean all 5 members of the 1841 household having died within about 5 years of the census. I'm tempted to order a couple of the death certificates now to see if they died of the same thing.

Derbyshire / Thomas Roome, Heanor

Hi,

I'm posting in the hope more than the expectation that someone might be able to help find a birth record for my g g grandfather Thomas Roome born in Heanor around 1842 as I've exhausted all the avenues (BMD etc) I can think of.

In 1851 9 year old Thomas is living with his Uncle William & Aunt Elizabeth Fretwell in Heanor and is listed as nephew. Elizabeth's maiden name was Roome. In 1841 the newly weds William & Elizabeth were living next door to Elizabeth's parents, John & Elizabeth Roome, two of their daughters, Mary aged 20 & Keziah aged 15 (or probably a bit older given the rounding down thing) and 6 year old William Roome, Mary's illegitimate son.

It's probable that Thomas is also illegitimate - no father is named on his marriage certificate - and it seems likely that one of Mary or Keziah is his mother, unless there are other siblings I've not unearthed. Mary (as well as both parents and possibly William as well - there's a limit to the number of death certificates I can afford!) died in the 1840's (after Thomas's birth) so it's all pointing to her as being his mother but I just can't be sure. Also I haven't been able to establish what happened to Keziah after 1841 so as to be able to rule her out.

Any help much appreciated.

Mike

I've got the marriage certificate which gives John Dolan as the father of the groom.

This adds weight to my supposition that his father was the John Dolan (and his Mother Margaret Carroll) in Shinrone but I still don't know how to prove it.

So I've got the marriage certificate and the father of the bride is... Patrick Jackman (deceased), profession carpenter. It seems that Jackman Bros. Carpentry might not have been so fanciful a suggestion after all!

On your death certificate, Hatslip, do you know why there are two addresses given, Green Street and Patrick Square? And who is the Ellen Donohoe who links your certificates?

This is quite possibly a case of me simply wanting the Patrick who died 1878 to be mine but I've looked at Jackman births in Wexford leading up to 1878 in order to see whether any children were born to a Margaret & Patrick Jackman. The only Margaret Jackman I can find having children during the 1860s & '70s is one married to a Nicholas Jackman.

With any luck Ellen will have given her father's occupation for her marriage certificate.

Thanks for the replies again. I guess it was too good to be true that I had not only names but a narrative to account for their movements. The 2 certificates do seem to clearly link Patrick and Margaret together although there could of course have been a Jackman family carpentry business..

I need to do a bit more work today than I did yesterday so I'll mull this over again later.
