Find My Past

Can anyone who has a full membership do a look-up for me please. Emma Pitchfork married in 1907 Q4 at Gainsborough in Lincolnshire but neither Ancestry or The Genealogist can find her partner (it's not Frank Leaning)

Thomas Charles Moss

I just read your thread, searched under births 1837 - 1915 for any reg. gainsboro in 1913 (as it would bring up any around that time) on ancestry using the keyword Pitchfork and the top of the list was a John L Moss registered at Gainsborough mother Pitchfork, then went into the origonal GRO index of marriages for Q4 1907 to look at her's but then changed the letter at the top to M not P and scrolled through to Moss and scanned down the list of Moss marriages and found Thomas Charles Moss registered at Gainsboro 7a 1663

Have you tried Access to Archives. It is a good website for digging around your family tree. I traced a lot of my family using this site.

.John L Moss registered Q1 1913 was their last child as there are no others between then and 1915 and none on the 1916 + index.

Thanks yet again Dotty.............I've found them in the 1911 census now.

I've done a check on the ancestry index for Thomas Charles Moss and his ref is given as 7a 1 3, the 66 missing and there's just a gap! I've added an update

he died in 1952, his entire tree is on ancestry, his parents were thomas Moss and Sarak Blythman, and bizarre I know but his grandfather william Moss married an Ann Blythman according to the tree!

Small world eh.....................

I think his father Thomas married Sarah who was the niece or possibly half niece of his grandmother Ann Blythman, so I think Thomas and Sarah were half cousins.
