Just looked at FMP and the 1911 census. Is this the right family as they were all in Darley Bridge. Thomas aged 45 a widower and a gardener. a number of children.
Hi, we believe that both Thomas and his son George moved to Sheffield between 1911 and 1915 where they married sisters. George married Mabel Nicholson in 1914 and Thomas Charlotte Ellen Nicholson in 1915. Thomas and Charlotte went on to have a daughter in 1916, May Gill who was my Grandmother and David's mother. The marriage certs etc all point towards this being the case. The only issue is Thomas's age is recorded as 45, 10 years younger than what he was... Maybe he lied about his age given his younger wife? All other info seems to confirm that it is Thomas from Darley Dale.
The 1921 census record has no info on Thomas that we can find. Charlotte Ellen Gill(formerly Nicholson) on the marital status section says 'living apart'. His son, George is still in the household with Mabel.
Can't find anything on Thomas whatsoever beyond that... He seems to disappear. Any help would be appreciated!
if you search the 1939 Register for Thomas Gill with birthday 18 04 (do not put in a year) you will find one in an institution in Lincs. He says born 1868, only 2 yrs out. If that is not him it is a big coincidence. He is said to be single and a former general labourer (as are most men around him)

Hi David et al,
There is a Spick (if memory serves) Tree on Family Search website, possibly yours..??
It shows a death of 1943 in Derbyshire for a Thomas Gill at the age of 78 (so born about 1865).
BMD also has this same record with the death Reg.for Chesterfield, Dbys.

Suggest you look at Thomas Gill b 1872 living in an all male hostel in Scunthorpe and Frodingham in 1921 census. Marital status is living apart and he was born in Derbyshire, a general labourer. Must be him.

Hi Dave,sorry for the delay responding,yes, you are spot on ,his birth place is showing as Darley Dale in the 1921 records.He is our man!
We would never have thought of searching with just date and month(omitting the year),the guy was all over the place with his year of birth,I cannot imagine what his motives were??
Its a lesson learnt for us with regards to future searches .I can't imagine we would have found him without your help, so Many thanks..!
