Thomas Henry Challenor married Sep 1899 Coventry 6d 1035. He married either Mary Ann Barnett or Alice Thompson.

Can't see Thomas in 1901 so has possibly left England.

Buried 31 March 1901 at London Road Cemetery, Coventry.

[emeltee]

Can't be a birth registered in the March quarter 1914 if he gives dob as 2 December 1914

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't see any other birth that would fit.

Something is not right somewhere.

Looks as though Thomas made a trip to England after his wife died.
