[linsch]

Looking for Underwood (Tom or Thomas), moved south to Tunstill possible in early 1900's. Three daughters
Lillian M Warham (James)
Beatice M Nixon
Evelyn M Pointon

[Jan1954]

Hello linsch - welcome to Brit-Gen,

Do you have any further information, please? Approximate years of birth, the place name from where they moved south?

If it helps>

Isaac Nixon married Beatrice Underwood in Stoke on Trent June Q 1926

James Pointon married Evelyn Underwood in Wolstanton RD June Q 1919

James H. Warham married Lilian Underwood in Wolstanton RD Dec Q 1913

- and so I reckon we’re talking about Tunstall in Stoke-on-Trent

.... and so I reckon we're talking about Tunstall in Stoke-on-Trent

Thank you, Malcolm. I shall move the thread to the Staffordshire forum so as to attract folk who are researching that neck of the woods.

1911 Census [RG14 PN16470 SN143]
42 Henry Street, Tunstall, Staffs
Thomas, widower, age 41
Lilly age 18
Beaty age 14
Evelyn age 10

They were all born in Tunstall, Staffordshire and Thomas, Lilly & Beaty are potters.

There is another entry on the census return for Joseph Underwood, son, age 1 (or is it 4?) but this is crossed through with a note “deceased”.

The Staffordshire BMD website has a civil marriage at Wolstanton in 1891 of Thomas Underwood and Adeline Gilby.

This looks like Adeline's death:

Adeline Underwood, Woolstanton district, December quarter 1909, volume 6b, page 78, aged 40

(Woolstanton covered Tunstall)

Okay, now I am very confused as there is a marriage on FreeBMD where there is a Thomas Underwood and Selina Rawlins on the same page: June quarter 1893, Stoke T, volume 6b, page 264.

With both Thomas/Adeline and Thomas/Selina having children of the same names, how confusing is that!
