Hi All

Did not know that they had a child Thomas Major .I got some detailson the 1861 census and as I said before there was no Elizabeth(mother) and no Thomas, so this may not be the same family?But on my gg grandfathers birth certificate the definetly lived in Market Street.

Many Thanks

Hi OlgaD,

This is a longshot I know, but my gr.gr.grandfather was a Thomas M. Beresford.

I have not been able to find his birth as I have insufficent information, and as he was washed overboard and his body not recovered, there was no death certificate.

He was born around 1845.

So, I am wondering if you know what happened to your Thomas Major Beresford?

Many thanks,

Bumbelina

Hiya Olga

Welcome to Rootschat!

A copy of one of the childrens birth certificates will give Mary Ellens maiden name

I'm wondering if its Major as a maiden name is often given as a middle name
