Thomas Richey and kin 1914 and earlier

[DarrenMW]

Thomas Richey (born 1868) married Emily (nee Wood) Surrey. 1915

8 Children born in Brighton from 1918 to 1932. I have the dates of births.


Address in 1917 given as 62, Washington Street, Brighton, Sussex

Strongly suspect local Brighton area family connection prior to that as Sussex is written on his 1914 Army attestation.


All and any direction is most sincerely appreciated.

Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren

Have you quoted his date of birth correctly?

Born in 1868, married in 1915 (aged 47) having children up to 1932 (aged 61) ?

I can not recognise anyone on the 1871 up to 1901 census that can fit in with those dates?

Hi Chris ....and thanks for the reply.

Yes the Thomas Richey dates are correct per his June 1915 marriage certificate and December 1914 army re-enlistment papers, both have him as 46.

I was as shocked as you were!

Was he a bachelor on marriage cert?
And what was his occupation, and fathers name?

On his 1914 army papers there's a cut-off page which lists his next-of-kin as:

Catherine Elizabeth Fergu____
34 Exeter St, Strand W_______

The Dec 1914 papers, however, also state that he has previously served in the "2nd Royal West Surrey Regt".

Catherine Elizabeth Fegruson was listed as his next of kin (sister) at Exeter Street, London WC2.
