Hi all.
A recent) new clue in my family research has just surfaced (thanks to this thread on here: http://www.familytreeforum.com/showt...-find-this-man but it has left me with some confusion.
I am trying to trace forward, the lives of Tom and Sarah Mansell, the details I have for each of them are:
Tom
Born as Tom Cooke as his parents were unmarried at the time, but his father was William Mansell. GRO: Tom Cooke Dec 1880 Ross 6a 444 (Parents William and Maria)
Married to Sarah J Coopey on 18th October 1899, as Tom Cook Mansell. Parish record plus GRO: Dec 1899 Ross 6a 1055
Had several children between 1899 (Mary) and 1915 (Olive).
I have his census details somewhere, but not to hand. There is nothing odd in them, and obviously nothing beyond 1911 yet lol.
Sarah
Born as Sarah Jane Coopey. GRO: Dec 1879 Westbury 6a 272 (Parents Joseph and Isabella)
Married to Tom Cook Mansell on 18th October 1899. Parish record plus GRO: Dec 1899 Ross 6a 1055
Had several children between 1899 (Mary) and 1915 (Olive).
1881 census: At home with parents
1891 census: At home with parents
1901 census: With Tom and their children
1911 census: With Tom and their children
I don't know what happens to either of them after this, not sure how to find out. I'm not too bad at going backwards but seem to have no luck at all trying to come forwards in history.
In the other thread, it was suggested from personal memory that Tom died in 1918, in South Wales from the flu epidemic. I can't find any GRO reference of him dying - anywhere, ever, (he must be very old by now, lol!) and that Sarah re-married a Joseph Coopey (not helpful, given that was also her father's name lol!). A possible GRO reference I can see for that is: GRO Q3 1920. Westbury Severn 6a 858. Mention was also made of another family - Aldington - but I cannot see anything like this. Also, there were apparently two other children - Farmer and Cal - odd names? I don't know if these were with Tom or Joseph.
Any thoughts as to what happened to Tom or Sarah?
Thank you in advance, I'm getting quite confused!
