Dear Listers, Thomas was born in the Sept qt 1863, in Stockton on Tees, the son of William Aubrey and Margaret Morgan. His parents moved to Stockton from Wales because of the Iron Industry. At the time of his marriage in 1883 to Ethel Maud Thomas in Sunderland he was the Manager of Middlesburgh Ironworks. He appears on the 1881 census with his family in Stockton on Tees. I have never found him again after his marriage. Ethel is either at her parents or visiting a cousin, but where was Thomas?. Ethel was said to be a concert singer or a concert pianist. She died in London in 1955, and was described as the widow of a Journalist. Family tradition suggests Thomas may have become a Journalist on the Financial Times and developed a drink problem. He seems to have kept out of sight as far as I can determine. Ethel and Thomas were childless but looked after his sister's children during school holidays. It is likely that Thomas died in London. I wonder if anyone could double check for me whether he did indeed avoid appearing on censuses, and would know how long his Iron Industry employment lasted and if/when he might have pursued an alternative career. Best wishes, Mary
