George Thomas

[horse]

George had died between 1861-1871, possibly died 1864, Mary E was a widow by 1871, that is the only George Thomas recorded in that period.

Been a house maid comes to mind for a girl of that age back then.

Yeah, but with all that activity in the fishing world, unless she was sponsored or recommended.. More likely the family moved

I've got George's mar. cert. now [thought it may give an odd snippet].

It confirms his father as James, occ. Tanner and George was of full age so b. before/by 1829.

Also, I wonder if anyone can decipher this street name?

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

I'm sorry I don't understand the question, do you want births and deaths for all of these Georges?? I don't know what Emporer is??!!

Hi Amanda

Apologies for the lack of clarity..

They are 4x seamen, G/George Thomas with birth date and or date of death, the names; India, Medway, Emperor and Alabama were ships they sailed on or were lost at sea between 1861-1871. BT 153 is the FMP archive reference.

So any details on those records would helpful.

Thanks
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

I've looked at Ancestry and FindmyPast I can't even see the ships listed let alone who was on them, perhaps they are still being transcribed soz

Ok, thanks for looking, Amanda.

Geoff

The 1864 death [Hull] has now been discounted.

So, it looks as though he may have died at sea

Still looking for anything else on George, apart from his marriage.

Many thanks

I can't see any record of registered certification for seaman, mate or skipper in the Hull area, of course it may have been issued outside of Hull. A local researcher has him as a Skipper in 1851, the census says his spouse was a fisherman's wife
