Hi Cardiff. Great resource.

I'm looking for an Edward Hook. On his daughters wedding certificate, in May 1905, his profession is recorded as Dock Police, and they were living in Portishead at the time. He was born in 1861, so he would have been 44.

I'd be grateful if you could take a look.

Many thanks

Mary and Jim

Thank you both for your suggestions. I had fond those Thomas Henry's and I do know that my THB never came to England, it was his daughter, my Gran who came over in the early '40s. But thank you both anyway.

Regards

Phil

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

Silvery: I haven't tried the LDS Family History Centres - I'll certainly give the a call as you suggest, though a search of the LDS website has revealed only his birth.

Shanew147: You're right - there aren't a lot of Niblocks around. I've found a cluster in Islandmagee near Larne and I believe there is a family of Niblocks still living there. My ancestors came from Templecorran, which is actually very close to Islandmagee, so there is probably a connection, and I think the family may originally have originated from Scotland. We have no records of a Dublin connection, though.

Aghadewy: Thanks for the suggestion. I've searched the Covenant records and didn't find him, though I did find his father-in-law's signature and since the Covenant was signed in 1912, I suppose it is possible Thomas had already died by that time. No luck on the Will extracts either.

Once again, thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Down / When did my Great Grandad die?
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 15:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

I've been trying to find out when my Great Grandfather died but so far have had no luck. I wonder it someone could help?

His name was Thomas Henry Niblock and I know that he was born in Templecorran, Larne, in 1878. He must have left there because he married Victoria Eveline Radcliffe in 1905 in Banbridge, Down. They had only one child, Kathleen Florence Niblock born in 1906. She was my Grandmother and, as far as we know, did not remember her father. So I presume he died not long after her birth. But I've found nothing.

If anyone is able to help I'd love to hear from you.

Many thanks

Phil
