Horrocks, THOMAS

Birth Name Horrocks, THOMAS 1a 2a 3a 1b 4a 5a 6a
Gender male
Age at Death less than 90 years

Narrative

Thomas and his wife were both born in Wigan, which is where they were married.
Thomas had a number of different occupations in different locations, each of them with some responsibility, probably because he was able to read and write.
1837-44 childrens births and deaths were registered in Hulme and Chorlton-upon-Medlock so the family must have been living on the boundary of the two places.
1849 son Alfred was born in Stockport, where Thomas and his family were living in 1851.
They moved back to Manchester and were living in Ardwick in 1861, where they had a large house, a servant, and two lodgers. The house was on a road that went under the railway line near Piccadilly station.
Not found Thomas or his wife after this date, until his wife appears on the 1901 census in Stockport.
