He was born in 1873, so that one doesn't "fit" very well...

If someone could find him in the 1901 census that would be wonderful!  :)

Got him in 1901. A draper's manager now and boarding with a family called West who have a 16 year old daughter Sarah, born in Crewe. Residence Monk Coppenhall Cheshire. There is marriage of a Thomas, Nantwich district 1907 Q3, one possible bride is Sarah West. On census he is giving POB as Wharton - close to Priest Hutton. You'll need to find in 1911 yourself, but the trail seems to go on fitting nicely.

dobfarm you are a genius!!!  :D

What a great amount of information you've gathered!!!
I've never seen anyone here on Rootschat do such a complete research!!!
It's admirable and exemplary!

Thank you so much!!!  :)

I just happen to be local, we work together, a lot goes on by Email, or PM's behind the scenes, most of the members on the thread are brilliant reasearcher in their own right (Your lucky they joined in), each adding their bit to the sum total, which is the object of rootschat and Bumble B has many years of experience ancestry researching.

 :)
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

I guess "Wharton" might be Warton which is close to Priest Hutton.
And in the 1901 census age is stated as 25 when it should be 27...
But yes, I think it fits quite well.

Can anyone confirm father's name of Thomas in that marriage to Sarah?

Ages on death certificates are only as accurate as the information the informant has.  ;)

According to a newspaper report that one had a son Harold  ;)

Death June qtr 1924   
Thomas Douthwaite    age    49   
Lancaster    8e   956

This Thomas died 19 June 1924, probate to his widow Lily. So unless sarah died and Thomas remarried a Lily, I'm inclined to think it's the Thomas who married Lily Shearman in 1899
