Trying to find Thomas WILLSDEN/WILSDEN/WILSDON born c1861 in either Wakefield or Hunslet. I can find no trace of him until his marriage in 1882 in Darlington. His marriage certificate shows father's name as George, occupation Joiner. I have been seeking this man for months and any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Gina

Can't find Thomas, but have found George Wilsdon, joiner in Hunslet on the 1881 census, if you haven't got that. Kath. x

Hi Kath Thanks anyway but I have George and family on all censuses and the births of all other children. It's just Thomas I can't find. Can't even find him on St. Catherine's. Just wonder if someone has been telling lies Thanks again for your time Gina

Have you got Thomas on the 1901 census? If he married Alice, then they are on the 1901 in Darlington. Kath. x

Hi Kath Thanks again but I've got him on 1891 and 1901 after his marriage, it's 1871, 1881 and his birth I can't find. Think he was beamed down from somewhere Cheers Gina
