Jesse did marry a Bethia, so I wonder whether Emma dumped the kids with her mother as supposed to the Brewerton side.

Just looked think I had the right ones and no no Thomas with Jesse Brewertn in eiter 1891 or 1901.
Leaning more to him being William.

Yes Rowena it certainly looks that way that could be why he changed from William to Thomas and maybe with living with Grandmother eventually got his age wrong.

With what you said at the end of page 2 is correct. Emma dumped her kids with the Grandmother, when Emma remarried but I don't know what the Grandmother's name was.

Here's Jesse in 1891 - No Thomas with him:

Thomas had a brother called william

On Henry and Emma Marriage cerificate is this: They got married 2nd May 1885. Henry's father is Jesse Brewerton and Emma father is William. They got married at the parish church of Bierely.

Think possibly you are right Germaine. I did check Lydia in 1891 to see if Thomas was with her (mistranscribed somehow) as Emma had just had William but he's not there. Could possibly be with his Brewerton grandparents.

Rowena

Did you day you have Henry and Emma's marriage cert? If so, what was Henry's father's name?

Oh and in 1891 the Helsings are on the previous page so I would think only a few doors away from the Brewertons. No sign of a Thomas

Yes I think this is her in 1881.
It looks to me that Thomas might have wanted to forget his past and changed his name from William and took a couple of years off. Only a thought.

William should be grandson (transcriber missed the ditto tick) of Lydia in the 1901 and Blanche is granddaughter. All the rest are unmarried children of Lydia.

No Thomas & I checked the full BMD not just the indexed bit

I said it was rather mixed up :-).
I think Lydia was the grandmother she was head of the household though Blanch down as Hesling and granddaughter and William down as Brewerton Grandson.
What makes me think it is the same family is that you mentioned Henry dying and Emma didn't want the kids with her. So looks like she left them with her mother. Will look and see if Lydia was her mother.

Claire in Wales

But there is not Thomas is there in Q Sept or Q Dec 1886

I though that as well.

I have checked the Brewerton births, Bradford 1886. There are 2 Charlie & Elijah & I can find both of them with their parents

Rowena/Germaine

I think there is something not quite right about that 1901 census - mother, Lydia aged 70!

Potty

Thomas never talked about his family and that is why we (or I) can never get anywhere, it seems.

Thanks Germaine for the information.
