Hi
This is a continuation of a thread I posted with regards to a baptism.
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=891993.0Henry Bailey Thompson's birth was registered in Sunderland so I'm wondering if the parents married there. It's all very complicated.
The couple are Henry Bailey and his wife Ann nee Cornwall. They emigrated to NZ in 1860 with two children. Ann was married, as a minor, to a Joseph Hood/Wood prior to meeting Henry. I know nothing about Henry BUT interestingly on their first child's birth he is named as Henry Thompson so did he change his name from Thompson to Bailey? Ann was originally from Manchester and Henry was apparently originally from Nottingham and was born around 1823. The shipping record shows that the Bailey family was from Durham
I desperately need a marriage record to find out who Henry's father was. His NZ death record does not include parents.
A bit tricky to unpick, I know!
