Yes Shirley, I couldnt see it on free bdm either. Ah, thanks Margaret.... that is helpful to confirm that Tom was infact the eldest child.... I had been wondering if the brother that died was older than him, but from this 1871c it would seem that Tom was indeed the oldest. |

his death should be at the same time of Tom Rowe if they died together Have you looked on FreeBMD just using the surname and area and Year of death |

My grandmothers father was one of 10 children... but I only had names for 8 of them and grandma told us.... and wrote down that the other two were boys who drowed falling through ice on a local pond. In coming to GR I found one of them on someones tree......... Tom Rowe, 1871-1880..... which would make him 9 at time of death.... a sort of 'perfect' age for that sort of accident. |
