Thread: looking for Thomas Martin please

Hi, i wondered if anyone could please help me. I'm looking for the birth of a Thomas Martin, he was born in 1876 in the East End of London, his father was Thomas Martin and his mothers name was Rose. I'm also looking for the birth of his wife Mary Ann Farmer born 1877. Her fathers name was Richard and her mother is as yet unknown. I'm really stuck on this branch of my family and i've only got their marriage cert and can't get back any further. Thanks in advance and i hope someone can help me past this obstacle.

Hi Searcher1951



There are 3 baptisms held together on 27 Nov 1881 at All Hallows Bromley Middsx



Thomas Martin – Born 2 April 1877 (this birthdate is a little hard to read – but I think I have it right)

Rose Martin – Born 19 July 1879

James William Martin 26 Oct 1881



Dad: Thomas Bricklayer Mum: Rose – Living 3 Sherwood Street - in 1891 Census found by KPTZ, the family are living at number 6
