Marriage certificate for Thomas Kavanagh only so is it possible to find him?

[JenB]

I thought I recalled him being killed at work but obviously not. Not my TK given CBK's birth. PHEW.

Please can you reply to my post #70 and clarify the confusion about the details on the birth certificates?

Was Thomas Kavanagh the informant on Catherine's birth certificate?

Has LizzieL's question been answered since her posting - or earlier or elsewhere?

And where on earth does this come from? several of us have been running around in circles trying to help and you don't seem to given us all the information you had to start with

My last post didn't post.

This is all my evidence.

Marriage cert GRO for TK and M. McCoy 07.04.1894 Lanchester Durham. I will find out about a Church wedding cert tomorrow and can only hope it gives some mother's info - fingers crossed.

Birth cert for CBK and Baptismal record lists TK as father on both with mother as the informant.

GRO for JTK has 'A GATESHEAD MINER' listed no name given. No Baptismal record found to date so not sure if he wasn't baptised or baptised in the Newcastle Infirmary where he died in May 1900 aged 18 months, the hospital is no longer there.

This is all the evidence I have to-date.

Thanks for the post Rachaelralf, I won't give up - I have tried but can't do it.

As a side line and please don't shoot me - I linked Ferry Hill John to my TK as Patrick Mc Intyre was godfather to Ferry Hill John son, they obviously knew each other and lived close to each other too.  I have the Baptismal record of this child.

So - please confirm there is NO FATHER'S NAME on John Thomas's 1898 birth certificate. But there is a father's occupation?

Confirmed JenB.

Confirmed JenB.

Therefore, as Annette7 observed in reply #64, Thomas could have vanished from the scene several years before his birth.

[LizzieL]

If he wasn't the informant on CBK's birth cert, he might have disappeared 9 months before her birth. He needn't be actually present to be named as father if he is married to the mother.

What was CBK's birth date?

Exactly. And taking it one step further he didn't actually have to be the father to be named as the father  as was suggested here http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/cumberland/2009-08/1251286260
