Hi Pat I'll have a look on the 1841 census, but I'm not likley to find him, as both the 1881 census and his death cert are consistent with him having been born c.1845. From his death cert, do you know his parents? This would help in tracking down the family. Regards Ellen.

Hi Pat As suspected, no sign of Thomas on the 1841. A quick check on Scotlandspeople brings up only one possible birth 1843-1847 in Aberdeen: Samuel Thomas Boner, born 04/09/1846 (or more likely, christened), to Samuel Boner and ? Marsella. GROS data: 168/A0 025* Regards Ellen.

Thanks Ellen - that's brilliant:))

Thank you for your help Ellen. I have emailed my sister in The UK. She is going to get Thomas’s death certificate from York Registry. If it is the correct one we might learn something more. I do appreciate all you help. Regards Pat.

Thanks Ellen Its the right people. Best wishes Julie
