Shropshire / Is the pictured gravestone my 4x grandfather?
« on: Sunday 13 July 25 15:33 BST (UK) »Would anyone be able to confirm if the gravestone pictured is of my 4x great grandfather ?
I would only consider myself a basic family history researcher so could do with someone with a better knowledge casting an eye.
My research is on the ancestry screen shot ( my account is titled Antony Deaves if you wish to look)
Thomas Deaves
B:2 May 1797 England
D:Oct 1861 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England
Married
Sarah Cartwright on 15/12/1817 at St Chads Shrewsbury
B:February 1798 Shrewsbury Shropshire, England
D:1872 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England
I have just found the gravestone on a website , the death year is the same as what I have (1861 ) but I have his month of death as Oct ( but I don’t know where I got that from) , whereas the only death cert I can find for a Thomas Deaves has it as 13/12/1861 - notified by Margaret Gough ( daughter according to the gravestone entry)
On the children from the marriage , I have Margaret Deaves ( but no dobs or death date at all) so could be her
I’m assuming Gough was her married name
I have a George Deaves in my tree
B:1833 Shrewsbury, St Mary
D:9 Jan 1870 Shropshire, England
but the gravestone says died 24th May 1873
Gravestone says Margaret Gough died Aug 31st 1864
I would love to confirm if the pictured gravestone is my relative so I can pay my respects and put some flowers down.
I can’t post the gravestone pic
Here’s the link to it

The Common Room / Re: Can’t find if relative served in ww2 or why he was excluded from serving
« on: Friday 03 January 25 13:25 GMT (UK) »He is on the 1939 register, paint sprayer. Married.
Beaten to it, bumble!
I suppose he could have worked at Rover in Solihull , that may have excluded him from serving?

Hi, unfortunately we haven’t been able to find out , the 1931 census that may have helped us was destroyed in the war.
We have a pic of Albert as a best man at his nephews wedding on 12th August 1944, but that’s all we have for him in war time.
Albert is circled.
