Find Ancestors

I am helping someone do their family history and have come across this man:
Thomas William Norledge born 1863 Newark, Nottinghamshire, parents are George Joseph Norledge and Fanny Walsham Scoffings. Joseph was a letter carrier and Postman.
In 1881 Thomas Norledge is with his parents age 18, occ Fruitiers Assistant.

The only other references I can come up with are for a Rev T W Norledge, a Baptist missionary. Date of birth and place of birth are the same. Rev T W Norledge is on a few incoming passenger lists returning from India.

This is the Rev Norledge in 1901
Name: Thomas W Norledgre (mistranscribed)
Age: 37
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1864
Relation: Cousin V (Cousin)
Gender: Male
Where born: Newark, Nottinghamshire, England
Civil parish: Ruislip
Ecclesiastical parish: Northwood Holy Trinity
Town: Northwood
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Household Members:
Sophie D Fry 63
Clarence E Fry 35
Carrie Fry 39
Baby Fry Under 1 Month

Thomas W Norledgre 37
Elina A P Norledgre 37

Fannie Lashbrook 37
Sarah Knight 18
Mary J Brown 46
Kenah Brown 22
Lily Edwards 29.

The Fry family is the Quaker Fry family who are quite well known. I have ascertained that it is Elina A P Norledge is the cousin of Sophie Fry, both their maiden names are Prideaux.

As I don’t like to assume anything, how can I prove that this man is the same as the one with the humble beginnings in Newark?

Did Thomas marry in the UK?

Father's name etc. should be on the cert

Can't find a marriage so I am thinking this Rev Norledge may have married in India. Elina Prideaux was also a missionary in India

It says on that 1901 census that he is a Baptist Missionary - Baptist, I think is different from Quaker.

EDIT

A tree on Ancestry has your Thomas's death as 1925.

this one?

Ann you have been very busy while I have been having a cup of tea. Thank for all that. Where did you find the marriage please?

I have a feeling it is the same man but without a marriage cert it is not proven.

I have seen that tree on Ancestry but there is no proof that it is the same man

Thanks all Jennifer

ah I have just noticed one of Ann's posts, says born India.

name: Thomas Norledge
gender: Male
birth: of,Jessore,Bengal,India

all from the free Mormon LDS site - www.familysearch.org

Found it Ann thanks. It is a submitted file so though I think the marriage is correct I am not sure about the birth place

Did you try googling his name?
This came up:

Elina Anstis, bom at Wellington
35 August 1863 ; marr. at Muttra,
India, 16 January 1896, Rev.
Thomas Norledge of Jessore,
India.

From this site:

visitationengla01armsgoog/visitationengla01armsgoog_djvu.txt

According to this:

http://histfam.familysearch.org/familygroup.php?familyID=F70890&tree=Nixon

She was Elina Anstis Prideaux, born 25 Aug.1863, daughter of Francis Robert Prideaux and Emily Anstis Bury.

Yes I have googled his name and found some references to him. The 1901 census says he was born Newark but he must have been out of the country for other census returns,.

Still can't prove that my T Norledge who was a fruitier's assistant in 1881 became a Missionary and married Elina Prideaux.

Thanks for all your help, have to log off now till tomorrow
