    Red face FRANCKLE in Wandsworth

    Someone by the name of Thomas Robert FRANCKLE has appeared on an electoral register with members of my family in 1921. He does not share the same name as them. By 1922 it is only him living at the address.
    I am trying to find out a bit about him. There is one family of Franckles on the 1891 census with the head and son both named 'Thos.'. After, that however I can find no - one with that spelling. I have a sub on 'find my past' and I've traced right through to the present for a death and there is not one individual with that particular spelling. There are people called FRANCKEL, FRANKLE and FRANKEL, but as yet I have found no Thomas.

    Any other suggestions please?

    I would like to try and find out how he came to live with my family?

    He has also appeared in the same address around about the time my unmarried great-grandmother would have conceived her illegitimate son. (A horrible way to describe my grandfather) What would be the likelyhood of him being the father?

    Thanks

    Hi Alison

    There is a marriage registration for a Thomas R Tranckle in 1915 to either a Jessie P Austin or a Minnie A Watkin.

    Do either of those names link him in any way to your family.

    Thanks Bumblebee.

    I have just checked ancestry and I think it was Minnie Watkin who married the person in question.

    As yet I have found no such name connected to my family.

    Thanks for the message Rita - sorry only just discovered this - to my knowledge Thomas isn't related to my family, but as I put in an eaelier posting he does appear on the same electoral register as my family in 1921. It would be great to hear a little bit about your family, if you wouldn't mind, if only to put it into social context.
    I will try and send you a more detailed private email when a get a moment.

    Many
    thanks
    Alison
