IGIAnn's husband came to Desborough with his family between 1854 and 1858. Like his father he worked as a railway labourer. The fact that he and Ann married in Yorkshire suggests that they ran away to get married without her parents' consent. Sadly Thomas died within 4 years and Ann returned home, their daughter Elizabeth being born in Desborough. She may possibly have returned to Desborough to have her child before Thomas died as the birth was registered the quarter before his death.

Notes
The numbers at the right of the page are unique reference numbers.
The source follows each piece of information. If the source is underlined a full citation will be shown
when you hover over it. Click on any link to switch to that person's details page.
Estimated dates of birth (treat with caution - they could be decades out!)
:- where there is a marriage or children recorded, the date is estimated at 16-18 years before the earliest date;
:- where there is only a burial known, if the person or their spouse is described as "old", the birth is estimated at 50 years earlier;
if they are described as "very old", the birth is estimated at 60 years earlier; if neither, the birth is estimated at 18 years earlier.
Estimated dates of death are given as a visual aid to point up whether or not they survived their spouse.
Before 1752 the calendar year started on 25th March; dates where the year appears as, eg: "1650/51"
show the year as it would have been given at the time (in this example 1650),
and the year by the modern calendar (1651). Jan-Mar dates before 1752 which don't show this "double-dating"
are from secondary sources which haven't made clear which dating system has been used.
