Find Ancestors

According to info I've received from descendants of the couple my relative "Thomas Henry" Lea was born in Gwersyllt Denbighshire in c 1887.He is supposed to have married an Alexandrina Phyllis Bright at Tynemouth Northumberland in 1909.Again from info received the couple had a son Thomas born in 1910.

It may be fortunate in this case that I almost religously follow up on all those in my Tree as there appear to be a few holes in this info.The first one is that I can find no Birth of that name in the area at around that time(1887).I can also find no one of that name in the 1911 Index.Perhaps what could be revealing is that there is a Thomas Lea given as born in Tynemouth Northumberland in 1910 living in the Nantwich District of Cheshire.Can anyone show me the household of this Thomas please?

Regards
William Russell Jones.

Thanks for your replies,I wonder where the father of the young Thomas was?Yes I looked up the marriage for Alexandrina Phyllis Bright and as it appears there is a name missing.This "Thomas Henry" Lea the supposed husband of A P Bright is a real mystery,no one can find his death either.The nearest Birth that is local that would fit is that of a Henry Lea in 1886 in the Wrexham District of Denbighshire.The couple are given as having two more children an Ena Mary born in Whitley Bay Northumberland in 1912 and a William Arthur born in Marylebone Middlesex in 1915.

The obvious solution is to purchase the marriage cert.........for some facts about the man. Relying on unsubstantiated recollections can be futile

Is THIS his death?

Thanks Flick,yes the death you give is certainly a possibility.I'm going to go through the Trees I have access to of all the others who have Alexandrina Bright and the Lea to see whether there may be anything I have missed so far!

Thanks Choccy,yes that is the Thomas Henry Lea son of Job and Frances I am following in 1901.

One person that looks interesting in the 1911 Census Index is a Thomas "Lee" birthplace not given and given as born in 1887 and resident in Tynemouth Northumberland.
