Joseph Connolly & Elizabeth Golding

[Merry]

or change the .com in Maggie's links to .co.uk

and I've just tried that, but it just switches back to .com as soon as I click enter.

Amended first link just about to do the second.

Both done, now .co.uk

I always work in .com

Oooh, I've done it now - just have to look all through the link and chance all the .com bits to .co.uk and not miss one!! lol

Just had a thought I assume John hasn't got Edith's marriage certificate to confirm that a Joseph Connelly was Thomas' father.

Maiden Name of mother Chapman

A Thomas Connolly married a Mary Chapman in the Wirral

Possibly him on 1911

Until John comes and confirms why Joseph and Elizabeth is Thomas' parents or could possibly be some other couple I will stop, maybe gone off on a tangent after reading Merry's post

I have the marriage cert on order. Was dispatched today from GRO so hopefully receive within next day or so.

The baptism for the Thomas I'm assuming to be correct gives his birth date alongside baptism date as 29 Sep 1898, and parents as Joseph & Elizabeth.

Okay so that will confirm Thomas' father's name and occupation.

Thank you, I didn't think. I've no idea if he is still alive but you're correct. Appreciate it.

Good call, Maggie! FamilySearch has indexed the marriage entry as follows:

Name:
Thomas Connolly
Sex:
Male
Age:
22y
Father's Name:
Thomas Connolly
Marriage Date:
01 Jan 1931
Marriage Place:
, Hoose, Cheshire, England
Age (Formatted):
22y
Spouse's Name:
Edith Mary Sharratt
Spouse's Father's Name:
John Sharratt

For some reason they have Hoose although Cheshire BMD says Holy Trinity, Hoylake. I think Hoose is the old name for Hoylake. Anyway, it does say that Thomas's father was Thomas. When John's copy of the marriage cert arrives, it should also have Thomas sr's occupation.

Actually it was Merry that highlighted that John may have the wrong Thomas and therefore wrong census and parents.

Okay well my one might be the Thomas, I looked everywhere but Family Search.

So let us hope occupation is fairly distinct.

So they were both aged 22 on 01 Jan 1931, but Edith was 30 two years later?
