Hmmm! Haven't had any other luck. Looked up William on the 1901....he was living in Leigh with his parents then. they seem to be miners. I guess you will have to wait for Tom's birth cert. 1901 England Census about William Sankey Name: William Sankey Age: 19 Estimated birth year: abt 1882 Relation: Son Father's name: Enock Mother's name: Mary Gender: Male Where born: Leigh, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Leigh Ecclesiastical parish: Pennington Christchurch Town: Leigh County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Leigh Sub-registration district: Leigh ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 245 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Sankey 17 Enock Sankey 43 Fred Sankey 11 Gertrude Sankey 8 Joseph Sankey 15 Lilly Sankey 13 Mary Sankey 43 Mary Ellen Sankey 5 Sarah J Sankey 5 Thomas Sankey 23 William Sankey 19
