Tombs family

[JAP]

You mentioned a Joseph TOMBS in Castlemorton in the 1851 and 1861.

This perhaps the same chap as the following in the 1881 in Castlemorton:
Joseph TOMBS, 60, Ag Lab, b Castlemorton
Eliza TOMBS, 30, Wife, Glover, b Hereford
Emma TOMBS, 7, Daur, b Castlemorton
Charles TOMBS, 4, Son, b Castlemorton
Their marriage perhaps the one of a Joseph TOMBS (also indexed as THOMBS) in 1870 in Upton on Severn, an Eliza COOPER on the same page.

Not that this helps.

There are only two Tombs families in the Parish of Hanley Castle in 1841:

HO107/1 fol.47 p.21 Coronation Lodge, Hanley Castle
Henry Tombs 30, Shoemaker
Ann       "       30
Charles  "        8
Henry     "        5
Mary       "        3
George   "   4 months
Thomas Allen  40 Horsekeeper
Thomas Tombs 15 J.Shoemaker
all born in county

Looking for the family of the 4 month old George Tombs.  He married Marion Lee in 1859.  Their granddaughter Edith Marion Tombs (b. 1894) came to Canada as a home child.

This is the same person as outlined below George Tombs (1841-1887) and Marion Lee (1834 - 1883).  Missing from the 1881 Census record below is Elizabeth Marion Tombs their daughter born Abt. 1867.  I think that she is working as a servant for the Edis family of 1 Clifton Villas Maxwell Rd. (www.familysearch.org) - (no other evidence to support this). She had a child Edith Marion Tombs in 1894 at the Fulham Union Workhouse and Infirmary with no father listed.  The father was a Benjamin West as can be found from Edith Marion Tombs registration to the Barnardo Home for Children admission record from 4 September 1901.  I have worked out most of the details from this record concerning her admission (quite a sad story).  My interest is that Edith Marion Tombs is my wife's grandmother.  Would be pleased to provide further details.  Elizabeth Marion Tombs either married or lived with an Arthur Day (1856 - 1901) and had a child Rosie early in 1901.
