Is Henry's occupation given on Thomas's marriage cert?

The image could be Brewerton

This is still bugging me!

Rowena, do you have William's marriage cert or his son's birth ? If he was in the army at the time, his army number would be on the cert. If it's the same as the number on the medal card I found it might prove that they were both in the Army.

Thanks for looking Germaine,

Selena

There is a Thomas A Brewerton in Birkdale listed as a visitor, born in Padiham and a family Thomas and Caroline Brewerton living in Padiham so I wonder does this rule that one out. Selina 1891

Possible marriage of Atkinson to Brewerton. Don't want to lead you up the garden path though.

Marriages Dec 1883

ATKINSON Caroline Augustine Manchester 8d 320
BREWERTON Thomas Manchester 8d 320
Moss Eira Manchester 8d 320
MOSS Ezra Manchester 8d 320
Turner Martha Frances Manchester 8d 320

Maybe someone can trace this chap on the 1891 and see if father is Henry

Births Dec 1885
Brewerton Thomas Atkinson Burnley 8e 256

According to the army papers, Thomas was born Sept/Oct 1885 not 1886 but my maths is really bad.

maybe mistranscribed

Births Jun 1885
Brewer Thomas Bradford, Y. 9b 173

clutching at straws now

Still bugging me :-).Rowena
Now you think that Thomas was born Sept 1886 well Blanch in the family we are looking at was born 2 quarter 1887 seems a bit too close may be possible but ??

I wonder if this is the wrong family altogether did it say on Thomas marriage cert if his father was deceased as I found this.
Henry Brewerton abt 1837 1918 Oct-Nov-Dec Tadcaster Yorkshire - West Riding

though I haven't found this man yet on the census

Thanks Germaine, Potty and Claire for your help. We'll keep you updated

Ah so that one is out. You know this is so much like my Grandfather.
Looks like another one to wait for the 1911 see what they have to say for themselves then.

He Moved to Tadcaster nobody knows anything about his history they had a vauge idea he was from Bradford but died young so that is a Tadcaster address

Oh just a thought Rowena what address did Thomas have on his marriage cert. Is it near to where the the Grandmother and family where in 1901. Long shot but maybe they didn't move.

Well I have looked at the births from 1920 -1925 and can't find one for mother Swain strange they only had the one child though not impossible
.Lots for the mother being Lazenby.

That's the correct Stanley he married Doris Tordoff

Found the Stanley Brewerton birth, last qtr 1916 MMN Swain.

Same here Potty oh I wish the 1911 was out at least then we could see where William was living if he wasn't around but Thomas was then it would verify our theory.
Yes we have managed a bit of info for Rowena.

I don't think they checked any of the information given when men signed up for WW1. If they had, many of the underaged boys who signed up and were killed wouldn't have been.

Thanks for all the help we though it might be a struggle !

Well it is pointing to that . I don't know Rowena how much info they had to give don't know if they checked men out .
Just a quick thought too I have only looked at the free bmd upto now and though I can find children to Thomas with mmn as Lazenby I can't see any with the mother Swaine only goes as far as 1920 .
Strange will go see what I can find.
