Hi guys, I've been researching the history of Dad's old school and came across a Thomas Phillips working there as a staff member, can anyone possibly advise me on how to narrow down who Thomas is please? He can be found on a search here: http://search.freefind.com/find.html...query=Phillips
The reason I'm asking is because I have 2 Thomas Phillips living in Stockton in that era:
Thomas Phillips born in Great Stainton, 1841 to John Phillips & Susannah Fairburn
His nephew Thomas born in Philadelphia, Durham 1878 to Robert Phillips & Hannah Cornforth which leads me to believe it's not him.
A distant cousin named Thomas was born in 1872 Durham though.
Non family search on FreeBDM has found:
Thomas, Stockton, Born Oct 1869
Thomas, Stockton, Born Sept 1870
Thomas, Stockton, Died June 1871
Thomas, Stockton, Born June 1875
A Residence search on Family Search between 1869-1880 brings up 4 1881 Census 2 belong to my people and 2 don't. One was born in 1880 and the other is noted down as Thomas Philip.
I have emailed the creator of the site but sadly she doesn't have any more information on who he could be.
