Hi Louise, I am really sorry that I haven't picked up this thread earlier. Thank you, I would love to see what you have to show me. Do you have a family tree documented. Either way, I'm sure we'll have a lot to share as well. Look forward to you your reply. Kind Regards, Peter

Thanks guys for your input, but it's definitely an Alfred Thomas I'm looking for. I seem to be struggling with this one, for some reason he's not on the 1851 or 1861 census but appears on the 1871? :confused: Regards, Peter.

Hi Folks, I am very keen to find the exact birth date and parents of an Alfred Thomas Rhodes. He was born in October 1850 in Burslem, Staffordshire. The 1871 census has him staying with a Wesleyan minister by the name of John Skerratt in Rugeley, Staffordshire. In 1871 he went to Richmond...

Hi Lionel, Thanks for making contact. I am not a descendant of a Thring, but my interest lay in an Alfred Lester Thring. I traced his pedigree until I reached Samuel who I saw was married twice. Now the Alfred Lester was the son of Alfred (born 1830? ) and his father was Samuel but I also am...

Hi again Dave, I didn't have the Frederick Thring, but I did also have a Thomas Thring b. 1832. I have it that Samuel James Thring was married twice, and I have Alfred and Thomas being from his first marriage (and now I guess Frederick too) but I unfortunately don't have the name of the wife...
