This looks like Thomas in 1891 though his place of birth doesn't fit (but, being an institution they perhaps would just take it that he was born where they took him in from) ??

Also in there is an 8 year old John who could well be this brother?

I presume you know that Mary and Thomas both had the same mmname - i.e. Nicholas. However, I haven't been able to find a marriage yet..............(perhaps it was in Scotland as John was from there ??)

Maddie. Thank you for the above ..It was very kind of you to post the details of the Sloan family...
I have been trying for years to connect dots with William Sloan and Mary McAvoy Sloan..(1911 Census) and my grandfather Thomas McEvoy....b abt. 1880 possibly Marys brother......

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/trying_to_find/thread/484743

That info. appeared to be the connection until....
Death of Elizabeth McAVOY in Q4 1888 aged 43. Cockermouth 10b 364

Deaths of
Thomas McEVOY Q2 1881 aged 2, C'moth 10b 340a
Catherine McAVOY Q4 1882 aged 7, C'mouth 10b 358
Sarah Jane McAVOY Q3 1887 aged 17, C'mouth 10b 351

Then a Thomas McAvoy b Maryport abt 1882 appears on the 1901 Census in Eccles Lancs. " Apprentice Shoemaker"....

1911 He is a "Master Shoemaker" married to Selena Reay living in Wallsend and gives his place of birth as Spennymoor Co Durham

His MC gives fathers name as John McEvoy Coal Miner decd.
Thomas was living alone in Wallsend at the time of his marriage so his address was of no help....

Can you see the problem...??
