Thomas Metcalf(e) is my 3x Great Grandfather. He was born in 1820 Ripon and married Bessy Wood in 1841(Ripon) They had two children. Bessy died in 1847 and the children were living with their grandparents in 1851. However, I can not find Thomas on the 1851 census. In 1861, I think he has remarried as he is still living in Ripon. It looks like he married a Mary and living with the couple is Mary Hannah Davidson recorded as daughter. This makes me think that he may have married Mary Davison (could be Dawson), but I am struggling to find a marriage which fits. In 1871 his wife and Step daughter are no longer with him and he is living with his mother also named Mary. He is recorded as a Widow so maybe his second wife died as well. In 1881 I think he is in Hartlepool, Durham.
Thomas is constantly shown as either a Shoe Maker or a Cordwainer.
Could the super sleuths amongst you find Thomas on the 1851 census and identify a possible marriage for Thomas.
Many thanks, Sandra
