The 1871 age for Thomas, place of birth and his occupation are consistent with the 1891/1901 and 1911 already posted on this thread.

Sorry - I wasn't suggesting that William was "yours," just that co-incidentally the surname was the same (fairly common surname in region I think)

thank you Greyghost but I think what you have found of year of birth for William doesn't relate to mine. Thomas I think he did go into the grocery trade .

? Thomas in 1871 - original has born Dawley - he is a Grocer's Assistant (William b Whorfield - surname coincidence?)

I am trying to further my tree but keep coming up with the same stumbling block. I have three brothers who were the sons of Edwin and Eliza Rowley and brothers to my gr grandfather John.E but would like to find more information on them. i.e. marriage and any children etc.,

1. Thomas 1853 believe he wed a Susan Boycott would like confirmation on this if possible.
2. George 1860c cant find anything only 1859birth towhich married abroad?
3 William.H. 1864-66 searched and have found a death in Stoke on Trent 1937 aged 74
Would appreciate anything that can be found
