Hello,
I have all the available Births, Marriages and Death Certificates for all of my 2x Great Grand parents, except for the Death Certificate of Thomas Jospeh Harris.
Thomas Joseph Harris was born in 14 Sep 1847 in Hollows End, Amblecote, Stourbridge. He married Georgina (Georgianna) Dineley in Lozells on 28 Sep 1872. He can be found on the Census' as living with Georgina and family in 1881, 1891 and 1901 in Aston. In 1911 he disapear from the family home and Georgina is found living with her brothers and sisters, but still described as 'Married'. His occupation is variously Machinist, Cycle Maker, Sewing Machine Repairer.
On the 1911 Census there is a Thomas Harris living in Birmingham Workhouse, birth abt 1845, occupation Cycle Builder which could be him.
The family rumour is that Thomas left the family home with no word and was away for a several years. He may have been a drunk. The next he was heard of was as a report in the Newspaper that a homeless person had been found dead in the Street in Birmingham and that this was him. I have no date for this event, nor any other corroboration. I have ordered several Death Certificates and none of them match the details I am looking for and I do not believe there are any relevant records of the workhouse still inexistence, but I will be happy to be proved wrong.
The Dineleys and Harris extended family lived in Aston, but I beleive the Dineleys also ran a Pie Shop near one of the Theatres in Birmingham. At the moment the best I can do is record Thomas Joseph Harris as having died anytime between 1901 and 1930, probably in Birmingham.
Can anyone help identify a suitable Death/Burial, point me in the right direction to look for further details
or find the Dineleys living in Aston beyond 1911.
Thank you for any help you can be.
Neil
