Still going through my tree to tie up loose ends where possible.

I'm trying to find out what happened to Thomas after 1891. (CORRECTION: 1881 )

I know about his parents and brother, so please don't waste time on them.

I think Thomas is another brick wall - but maybe someone else will spot something.
Thanks!

Just a little query.....

You say 'after 1891', but haven't shown where he was in that year.

On Ancestry
There is a Thomas Cakebread entering New York at some time

New York, U.S., Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists (including Castle Garden and Ellis Island), 1820-1957

Unfortunately, I do not have worldwide access :-(

Sadly, the only one on that specific database arrived in New York in 1956, having travelled from Mumbai.

Thanks for looking, Gwyn.

Sorry AG, tried everything I can think of, without success. He is proving as elusive as the other two Cakebreads you are trying to pin down

Yes, I fear so.

Thanks for looking, anyway!

I'll be back with other potential dead ends - but no more Cakebreads.
