    Exclamation Thomas Norman

    Hello
    I am trying to find details for a Thomas Norman who was born in Hampshire (Romsey) in 1786/1787. He served in the army between 1805 and 1815 and married a Caroline Ross (daughter of William Ross) in Guernsey in 1813. Ideally I would like parental details (no obvious parish records have been found) and information regarding the Ross family.
    Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    Hi Iann,

    I have found this record of a baptism of Thomas Norman. The date isn't far off from your estimated year of birth. Basingstoke isn't far from Romsey. Just a thought...

    Hi Mrsp
    Many thanks. I will chase this 'thought' up. Must say I had thought that the father would also be a Thomas since that name progressed down the line for some generations. Anyway, any straw is worth clutching at this stage.
    Cheers
    Iann

    Hello Iann

    Reference the post at #2, this could be the Parish Register entry, you would of course need to look at the original to see if there is any additional information recorded, check ou the loacal Record Office / or the localfamilysearch cesntre ( see site tool bar)

    Hampshire, England
    parents:James Norman, Mary
    record title:England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
    name:Thomas Norman
    gender:Male
    baptism/christening date:04 Mar 1788
    baptism/christening place:LONDON STREET INDEPENDENT,BASINGSTOKE,HAMPSHIRE,ENGLANDndexing project (batch) number:C07747-1system origin:England-ODMsource film number:595452

    I addition there is a user submitted entry for Romsey, I have found these to be unreliable

    Assuming SOLOMON is a child of the marriage

    Hampshire, England
    parents:Thomas Norman, Caroline
    record title:England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
    name:Solomon Norman
    gender:Male
    baptism/christening date:10 Nov 1815
    baptism/christening place:ALVERSTOKE,HAMPSHIRE,ENGLAND
    indexing project (batch) number:C07357-3system origin:England-ODMsource film number:918900

    Just cannot see a baptism for Thomas on familysearch.org

    THOMAS NORMAN b 1786

    Have you found his Army record, as this may contain details of his marriage, these are usually accessed on PPV/Subscription sites ot TNA ( Natioanl Archives) at reference WO97......

    Is there a possibility that his father may also have been in the Army

    How do you know Caroline ROSS is the daughter of WILLIAM? Was her father in the Army ?

    Hello Elsabels
    Thanks for the response.
    I wonder about the James and Mary connection. I had expected a 'Thomas'. Further, his army record (WO97/etc.) indicates (not clearly) that he was born in Romsey. The record does not have any other family details and, to date, I have not found his attestation papers. I got his marriage from Guernsey and his wife was indeed a daughter of a former soldier.
    The Solomon details I have, and they 'tie' him to Thomas and Caroline; indeed the register includes reference to T being in the appropriate regiment (presumably at Fort Monkton at the time).
    There is a Thomas of appropriate age baptised when he was 30, but no parental details, merely 'an adult'.

    Just thinking, no comments please, you state that you expected his father to be another Thomas ( not James), but if you look at Thomas's first child, he is a Solomon!

    Not all the Parish Records are digitalised yet, so it may be a case of a visit to the record office to look throught the relevant records.

    Can you post a seperate thread for Willaim & his daughter Caroline ROSS with the info you have and require.
