Joan, it looks like them.
Thank you very much.
You've found something in minutes, I haven't found in years.

Well Morf I have loads of Dixes in my tree so I am used to looking for them; sadly mine are the Suffolk branch but they must all link up somewhere, what a shame cos we would have been related & I would have been Legless's cousin lol!! I do have an Orlando in my tree so that would have tied in very nicely

You never know one day we may find we're related.
We won't tell Lemon though, because she'd be so jealous. lol

There's a Thomas Dix death listed in the overseas records on Family Relatives - 1871-1875 Thomas Dix, Leghorn, vol 5 page 1001. But it's the Consular Deaths Index, so I don't suppose it's him.

Looking back at the tree Thomas would have died sometime in 1880, because there is a young baby in the 1881 census (that's if it was his child), before this the next youngest child was born in 1878.
I'm very sorry for the wrong info.

I think I may have just found Thomas' death on the GRO Marine Deaths Indices on the ship Bristol City.
