Records we have show he was born in Stanton Herts England abt 1822. We know he married Hannah Holmes in Christchurch New Zealand in Oct 1874, but cannot find anything abt him before that. Can anyone help please.

oh my goodness there are a whole lot of trees on ancestry going back to the dark age !
You need to be very careful copying anything without researching properly.

I did'nt bother looking to see if there was any trees Lindsey but I think what has been found looks good.

I used to live near Braughing famous for their sausages I seem to remember :-D

Thanks all for assisting.

So is what has been found ok? Did Thomas arrive in NZ with children do you know?

jax

Have just gone back over notes etc. Norman Cockburns tree includes the Thomas from Braughing, and he claims he has traced him in England till 1891. If he is right, then it is not the Thomas we are looking for.
Family stories say Thomas had a wife and children when he came to NZ, but we cannot find them. On the other hand the notice of intention to marry says he was a batchelor, so who knows. Very little we have on this guy is consistant. I will have a search in NZ to see if any of the names look likely.

There is this Thomas also in Hertfordshire but not really near Standon

No he cannot be the one either as I can see him after 1874...I should have checked the other one too as I can see he remarried after MAry Ann died :-(

Have checked the children shown for the Braughing Thomas, and it does not look likely they have come to NZ.

No I do not think either of them are you man unfortunatly

jax

Thanks for trying.

Hi Helen, The Christchurch district Council cemeteries dartabase has a Thomas Aldridge died 1894 bur 8 Mar, 72yrs. Also a Hannah Elizabeth Aldridge, 6mths bur 24 Apr 1876. Both bur Barbadoes Street Chch. Pat

Thanks Pat. Yes that is Thomas and his daughter who died as a baby. Its trying to find him and his family before he came to NZ thar is our problem. It seems its one of those mysteries we will just have to keep looking to solve.

Since the above entries, we have been checking a Thomas Aldridge who landed in NZ on the Clontarf in March 1860, with his wife Ann, but no children. His age is given as 30 (born abt 1830 not 1822) and he was from Herts. He was a horsekeeper, which is consistant with other work our Thomas did in NZ. There are Thomas's in the 1841 and 1851 which could be him, but the info doesnt lead anywhere. Has anyone got any thoughts.
