I have looked at that marriage a few times, it says he is a carman, which he could have changed to and father William, I have his father as Henry, I think from Tessies tree.

I have no idea why I didn't notice this before, father and son living next door, do you think Emma is mother and daughter? not so sure about the whitechapel bit

The 1911 census shows Thomas (Senior) and Emma (Dellow) as married 1886 which would not be correct. Should be 1882 . Will check for other marriage or maybe they never married??? Grandaughter Florence Emily Cooper is with them too.

that is really interesting.

I worked in Waltham Forest Council, and it gave me the first look at the past. I used to have to get the Deeds of the properties that we owned when they were being transferred on. Had some lovely documents about some of the schools that were first set up, all about the trustees etc.
