1891 and 1901 are spot on
the ages on 1871 are about correct for them all
in 1881 the boys ages are correct but the fathers age is out by a few years and his wife has changed Anna and Hannah ...perhaps they are the same person? mispelt?

this is my first attempt at trying to tie everyone to one place and link them together,

I have now sourced these as my gt grandfather John and gt gt Grandparents Hannah and Benjamin

I had an hour in the Record Office whilst on holiday last week and found a will made by Hannah
leaving just over £100

Bequests of
Thomas £36
Emily Jane £10 and her clothes box
John £10
Joseph £10 and he clothing apparel
and a grandson Thomas £5 (I think)

However next to Thomas seniors's name it says (in America)

I've looked on the Ellis Island website and it has given me 4 Thomas's as possibilities, does anyone know how I determine which if any would be my Thomas??

Name Residence Arrived Age
