Thanks for info. Not sure if Thomas is one of mine as the Brighton has thrown me.
All my Stringer family come from Staffs and Worcs. but he could be. Will have to dig a bit deeper. His age is about right.
Thanks again.

Sylvia, what was the last census you found your Thomas on? Was he married, had children? What was his occupation?

If we have some facts we might be able to find him :-)

Hi, 1861 Census Thomas was age 13 with Mother Mary Ann Stringer with brothers Joseph and William. Father died 1857. Mother remarried 1862 to Joseph Priest living at Quarry Bank, Kinver. son Joseph living with Mother. Thomas Joseph and William all born Kinver, Staffordshire.

So many marriages for Thomas Stringer and could also have died. But where and when?
Thanks.
Sylvia
