Confirmed that William Nosworthy Thomas was a Rag & Metal Merchant & Licensed Horse Slaughterer with premises at 17-19 Alma Road, Windsor.

Does this link to your GF's place of work in '21?

The Electoral Register has him and wife Myfanwy Gwendoline at 151 St Leonard's Road, Windsor.

Yes. Afier the war gf lived at 247 St. Leonard’s Rd. in Windsor at his wife’s mother’s house.
I figure that he gave up being a foreman by 1933 when he bought a house at 116 St Leonard’s Road and operated a cafe there until 1950. He lived at 8 York Road afterwards.

I am trying to find out about his mother in law’s third husband Richard Redrup.  In 1911 he was a brewers drey driver but am uncertain of what happened to his family life, only that he died in JUN 1926 at Wallingford, and wonder if his wife Mary was still with him.
It seems that his father was  George Redrup who lived in Park Street and was a Brewer at The Royal Brewery.

Thanks for that
It seems that for the time being ‘ Due to a technical issue, post-1900 records cannot be searched.

We are working on a solution, but this may take some time so please bear with us.

We apologise for any inconvenience.‘ (BMD)

I can’t figure out any way forward on OP. Maybe somebody else can.

Something else has dawned on me.
Ithink my GF worked in scrap.
He was a driver in the ATC.
After ww1 much of the scrap was dumped on a huge army depot between Burnham and Cippenham and I think GF probably had dealings there. How might I locate any existing records about the dump?

# By abt 1933 GF was obviously doing very well for himself. He bought property.

You can track Richard and Mary Ethel Redrup on FindMyPast's Electoral rolls. They are together at No 247 until the Autumn 1924 publication. The Spring 1925 publication shows Mary Ethel still at No 247, now with your GF/GM but no Richard. The three are still there in 1931 (the Rolls on line don't extend beyond this year)

[Little Nell]

With regard to W N Thomas, he died in 1932 in Windsor and was survived by his wife.  He may have been the licensee at the Star & Garter pub in Peascod Street at the time. 

Mary Redrup still lived in Windsor in 1939.

Re Mary

I have just discovered an old email that I never followed up. Please can anybody check it out?

I don’t know if it is relevant as I am not sure the name fits. Army connections certainly do.
She was married to Tomkin. He seems to have died.
Will post more info on this when I can find it.


‘ Mary Elizabeth had a sister Eliza Beatrice who married a David Hamilton Fraser. He is my maternal Great Grandfather. I can't find a UK birth record for him. He was a Colour Sergeant in the 1st Battalian Royal Berkshire Regiment but my research loses him after the 1882 Egyptian War where he appears to have forfeited an award.’
