I am looking for information on Thomas born in Shoreditch approx 1850! He is my great grandfather. He married Jane Newman (1848) born Bottisham Cambs!
Newman marrying a Newman is a nightmare in tracing ancestry!
I've been given lots of info on Jane from other members on GR site - but to date have had no luck in tracing ancestors of THOMAs- all I know is his father was George who I believe to have been a grocer!
Can anyone help me futher?
Thanks Pauline
