I am trying to find out who the father of John Thomas Munro is. I have his son's marriage certificate and that is where I got his name and his wife's name, Sarah, from. The marriage was in 1856 and the son, Robert Hugh was born in 1825 so I am assuming that John Thomas was born about 1800. The marriage took place in Clerkenwell and both of his sons were born there as well. On the marriage certificate it says JT was an organ builder. I have looked in the 1861 census but he is not there. They are not in the 1871 or 1881 census either. I have searched Family Search and Ancestry until I have made myself silly but no sign that any of the John THomas's are my ancestor. What else can be done? |

I thought I could identify JT by his wife Sarah. There is a JT maried to ELeanor so I suppose he could have remarried. I would then have to find her death certificate or his new marriage certificate I suppose? You are right about his age - he may have been much older - even harder to find! |
