Hi everyone,
Trying to find Thomas Davison Smith aged 49 born Coundon Durham.
In 1881 he was living in Broom Durham with 5 siblings.
Thanks
Gail

Do you have him on the 1891...as by the 1901 he might not be with the same people he is with on the 1881

Gail,

You may have to obtain a copy of the marriage record. There are several records for Thomas on the 1891 with both the names of Sarah and Mary as spouses. If you want, I can list them all.

He won't be 39ish in the 1901 if he was 29 in the 1881

Gail

Gail Report 28 Jul 2008 15:06

39ish in 1891

Julie

Julie Report 28 Jul 2008 15:08

But your heading is asking for a 1901 look up so that makes him 49ish


& my question to you in your 1st reply was do YOU have him in the 1891...which funny enough you never answered
