I have hit a dead end and desperately need assistance. All I have found is: 1. Marriage to Gertrude ROBINSON on 5 August 1878 parish church, St Georges Parish, Leeds, registered Jul-Aug-Sept quarter 1878, 9b p484. Thomas was 23 and a silversmith, Gertrude 21. Thomas' father is recorded as John LISTER, Occ engineer. 2. 1891 census (RG12, Piece 3707, Folio 59, PG 31, Schedule No 185) Thomas and Gertrude are recorded as born in Leeds, Thomas abt 1856 and Gertude abt 1858. They were at 48 Leighton Lane, Leeds. Thomas was employed as a jewellers assistant. They had 2 children Ernest 9 and Ethel 4 3. 1901 census Ethel and Gertrude were at Gertrude's sisters (Annie Elizabeth CHAPMAN) at 27 Little Woodline Street, Leeds, (Piece 4239, Folio 134, Page 15, Schedule No. 96). I have not found anything for Thomas and one possible record for Ernest. I have found no record of Thomas or Gertrude on the 1881 census, I have found most records for Gertrude before her marriage. Any help on this would be appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
