Please help as each time I try to purchase credits to view a transcript the page tells me there is an error.
I would like to find ERNEST JOHN THOMAS' step mum. Ernest was born in 1901 in Leigh Malvern Worcestershire to WILLIAM CHARLES THOMAS and MARY ANN PERRINS. I understand he had 2 brothers and 3 sisters. Their mother died in 1906.
William then married Edith. Was this her second marriage too and did she have any children?

Bernard must have obviously fallen for ediths grandaughter then. I wondered if the Colletts were related after you gave me Ediths maiden name. So Edith/Ada must have been married before she wed William?

Oh no How stupid of me .. if Edith was single in 1901 she wouldn't have had a young child of 10 seven years later would she SORRY. I'll blame tiredness for that sillyness. Child born out of wedlock thats possibly it.

You would need Nellie's birth cert to confirm who her mother was, she could be the daughter of Alice named above? rather than the daughter of Edith? edit: or the daughter of one of the sons?
