Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to reply, I do appreciate it. I am following up a couple of the leads at the moment.
I always thought Thomas had died prior to 1931, as on my Granddads marriage cert it says he was deceased, however the 1939 records appears to indicate he was still alive. I can not remember the story fully, but I believe my granddad was abandoned after his mother left/ died , so he could have classed him as dead or genuinely thought he was. Once again thank you all.

Just out of interest - re his address in 1939 - Seems to have been a sort of hostel for single 'sober' men :

The Times reported on the opening of Bevington House:
"Yesterday afternoon the Earl of Derby opened at Liverpool a people's home something after the style of the Rowton house in London. It is calculated that about 14,000 persons seek single lodgings in Liverpool every night, while a great many of the lodgings which private adventure supplies are hardly worthy the name. The new building, "Bevington-house," is situate in Bevington-bush, and near the west side of St. Martin's Market, Scotland-road.
Its accommodation is for single men, and comprises 500 cubicles, or sleeping apartments. There are two large kitchens, with a number of cooking stoves, and the lodgers may bring in their own victuals and cook them or may purchase them at cost price. Close by is a large dining-room, as well as reading and recreation rooms. In the basement are large apartments, which, like the staircase, are lined with vari-coloured glazed bricks. Here are the resources for washing and the repairing of clothes, which may be done by the men themselves or by tailors and shoemakers. Each sleeping apartment is 7ft. 6in. by 5ft., and in each is an iron bedstead, with copper wire mattress, a hair mattress, two hair bolsters, two sheets, pillow, under blanket, three over blankets, and a counterpane. There is a chair by the bedside, and a small window to light the room. There is an outdoor promenade, with pot plants and seats. The nightly charge for a cubicle, with the use of the other resources of the home, is 6d.
The whole cost of the building is stated at £25,000. At the rear is about 800 yards of land which may be utilized for extension. The home was built by a company, the directors of which are Lord Mayor Cohen, Colonel G. H. Morrison, Mr. Archibald Williamson, Mr. George Banner, Mr. John Henderson, and Mr. A. A. Paton, all prominent local men interested in the problem of housing the poor and providing lodgings for the unmarried work-people and doing what they can to make this experiment a success."

"Father's name: Ulictam Joannis Hock"

I think I had it right 1st time as relictam.

I had a go a googling translations. there was no such word as ulictam but relictam literally translated as 'leaving'.

Would that be a way of saying father John was deceased?

From the marriage, it doesn't look like Bridget is a widow when she marries?

according to his baptism on 9 December 1894 (born 3 December 1894) John James parents were Thomas & Bridget (born Hock) even though Thomas & Bridget did not marry until 14 November 1896. If I am reading the register right it says widow of John Hock.

Perhaps someone else could check my reading of the latin.

EDIT
the filiam has been crossed out and it looks like relictam inserted

I wonder if Bridget did not marry until then because she was under age and no permission given.

Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I have been trying to trace my Great-grandfather after 1901 in Liverpool. He was born in Birkenhead in the Dock Cottages 1975, He married Bridget Hoy, Hock or Hough in about 1896. My Grandfather was John James Connor born 1894. I have the living at 52b Reading st in Kirkdale in 1901, but can find no trace after that. I can not find them in the 1911 census, death certificates, or burials. Has anyone any suggestions I could follow. Thank you in anticipation Pat.
