Was he in England before the 1901 census, Can you give us a name? We will try to find him. ... or have you found out about any family occupations which might lead you to look in a particular area? |

What about the one born c. 1887 living in Leeds in 1901? Do you have Thomas' father's name and occupation from the marriage cert. of 1919? That might help to find the correct family in a census, - and hopefully lead to a birthplace. |

This might prove tricky. The only Irish censuses which survive are 1901 and 1911, so you won't find him in Ireland in a census near his birth year. nell |

his father is called Thomas also, very original. the tom born 1888 is some sort of machinist or something. on his son's marriage cert he is listed as a newspaper machine operator. his father is a general labourer |
