Trying to find if these 2 are brothers. Thomas was born in Hexthorp but I have no idea where Edward was born.

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 1 Feb 2008 20:00

Edward was born in Lincolnshire and I believe his brother Robert went to Australia

Still searching for a connection. Do you have Thomas in 1891? I believe I've found Mary & younger children. She's married but no Thomas or elder children yet.

He & Mary are in Doncaster in 1901. He's born Leeds.

Ozi.

I have Thomas and his children. I hope Edward and Robert are his brothers but I cannot find a connection.
