Hello Listers, This is my first posting to this list, and I hope that someone can help. I am trying to find the parents of Thomas Slater who was born on 10 November 1826. On various records that have been found, his place of birth is always given as Manchester, Lancashire. I know nothing of his parents, but Thomas attended Emmanuel College, Cambridge,during which time he married Adelaide Tomblin of Rutland (1852). He was ordained as a Priest in Manchester in 1858, and became Curate of Ramsbottom. He later served as Curate in various churches in Staffordshire, and became Vicar of Coseley in 1863.He died at Coseley in 1883. I should be pleased to hear from anyone who has any knowledge of this family. Kind regards, Margaret Buchanan Aberdeen.

Hi Margaret, On the site www.freebmd.org.uk the marriage of Thomas and Adelaide was registered in St George's Southwark,Surrey in the June quarter of 1854. Purchasing this cert will provide you with the names of their respective fathers. In case you have net seen the church at Coseley here is a link with photographs http://www.sedgleylocalhistory.org.uk/cos/chch.asp Have you "found" Thomas on any census returns?

Hi Margaret His marriage certificate should have his father's name and occupation on it. Also there may be information from the Alumni databases for Cambridge.
