Thomas Henry HULME

Hi Julie,
I now understand why nobody else has responded so far to what initially seemed a straight forward enquiry.
I can't find Thomas Henry HULME on any record prior to the 1901 census.
He is mentioned in various family trees online but no one has any factual information prior to the 1901 census.
I suspect that although he remembered growing up in Birmingham, I don't think his birth was registered there.
I did find the previous marriage of his wife Sarah Jane WIGGINTON nee EVANS but that doesn't help.
May I suggest that you get the 1917 marriage details and hope that the father of Thomas Henry HULME is detailed. His full name and occupation may assist with the search.
Have you considered having a DNA test in the hope that a close match may provide some information.
Regards,
Gwynne

Hi Gwynne,

Thank you for the reply, Thomas Henry HULME has proved to be something of an enigma, i did obtain the 1917 marriage cert. and his father is given as the same name Thomas Henry HULME (deceased) and his occupation as Painter but nothing to indicate where he was from, there is a witness Henry HULME i assume he has to be a relation but i don't know if maybe he was a brother or perhaps their son also named Thomas Henry who would have been around 13 years old when they married.

I did a DNA test through Ancestry but no matches as yet for Thomas Hulme.

If you have any other suggestions i would appreciate the help.

Kind regards

Julie

Hi Julie, I've spent a few hours for you today. And i've found something very interesting.

I'm a person who thinks out of the box, Well would you believe it a Thomas Hulme registered the death of a Margaret Hulme, age 49, Charwoman of St.Julian, who died on the 20th March 1904 in Berrington workhouse. And a Thomas Hulme a Cousin in attendence (abode) 12 Victoria Terrace, New Park Street, Shewsbury. registered her Death!

So was he a cousin or a husband to this Margaret?

So is this your Thomas Hulme in an earlier Cenus:

Very Good chance

At the moment I haven't found a marriage for the above couple

Hi John, many thanks for the information on Thomas HULME it looks like there is a strong possibility that it is my Thomas the only contradiction is his birthplace which he gives as Birmingham in both the 1901 & 1911 census, i will do some more digging with this new information. 

I am new to the site so could you tell me how do i contact the moderator for your email address.

Kind regrads

Julie

Hi Julie, just ask him on this thread, and when he's next online he should see it. If not then start a thread titled moderator, he would notice that. But give him a couple days first though.

And during my many 1,000 of hours reseach, I've come across all sorts of tales of where persons were born and it could change from census to census. And also to lie about their marital status, even on marriage records.

And I think we can be certain it was him who registered Margaret's death.

Best Regards

J.P

Hello John

I have sent your email address to Julie.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for John's email, can't help but notice your surname of HULME this was my maiden name.

Kind regards

Julie

Hello Julie

First time of looking on the forum and your post has potentially solved a mystery that I’ve been trying to solve for over 20 years!! I think that your great grandfather Thomas Henry Hulme may have been born Thomas Henry Wilcox in Birmingham on 29 March 1855. His mother Jane Wilcox married William Hulme in Shrewsbury in 1860. Thomas would have been my great grandfather’s older brother.

If you would like to ask the moderator for my email address I’ll be very happy to share what I know and having also done a DNA test.

Really looking forward to hearing from you

Jane
