Lynda I am going to take a chance and send for the birth certificate. I seem to be paying an awful lot out on certificates. I paid £4.50 because they couldn't find another one but charged for the search. I have that one now thanks to the help I've had here from all you lovely people. May

I forgive you!!! I think you are right and that because Robert brought Him up it was easier to put his name on the weddeing cert. Lynda

Hello Rosemary, I have been looking again at your information. If Thomas was still there 10 years later and no sign of parents, I wonder if his grandparents brought him up. Perhaps his parents were dead, and if they did bring him up perhaps that is why he put his grandfathers name on his marriage certificate. What do you think.? May Lynda sorry I spelt your name wrong.

Hello Rosemary, thank you for looking. I have just had another look and I think you might be right about Robert being a grandson not son. It makes his mother 44 when she had him which is quite old to have children and survive in those days. I think you might have cracked it. Will send for the birth certificate and see. May

Thank you Linda for looking but if I have the marriage certificate for Thomas stating that Robert is his father, this can't be the same one as Robert is not old enough. I have found a Robert married to Margaret , child Thomas but born 1846, my Thomas was born 1877. Very elusive my grandfather May

Looking for Thomas Richardson born Brampton 1877, father Robert Richardson, shoemaker. I found a Thomas on the 1881 census but he was living with his grandfather who had a son Robert age 11 so Thomas's father couldn't have been that Robert, too young. I have Thomas's marriage certificate so know his father was Robert. I have looked on LDS but no luck. I thought he might be on the 1891 census. Can anyone help. Someone gave me a Thomas Richardson. District Brampton volume 10b page 455 1877 quarter july aug sept. but I think that it might be the one on the 1881 census. MAY
