My great grandfather Thomas Collicott is on the 1891 census living in felix street bethnal green working as a railway porter,on the 1901 census my great grandmother Fanny Collicott is listed as the head and still living at the same address,l have assumed that he must have died during those 10 years,but l can find no trace of his death.any advice would be really appreciated, the only other thing,is fanny and most of the family seem to have been buried in Manor park cemetery,l havent been there but l have a few memorial cards.but not one for Thomas.

Hi Irene Having looked through spelling variations of Collicott, I looked up Fanny on the 1901 census and under the status it said she was married, and a monthly sick nurse. So Thomas was probably still alive in 1901 but if he was a railway porter, he might have been a long way from London. Ben
