Thomas married a Rochdale girl named Jane and they had six children before the birth of my grandfather Frank and his twin Lucy. Unfortunately, Lucy had mental problems and spent many years in hospital.
Click here for a look at the 1881 Census entry on Thomas' family which is my only source of information on him.
The picture on the right shows three of Thomas' sons, from left to right Hugh, Sam & Frank taken after clocking up 100 years service between them at Bob Schofields.
Click here for an interesting article published in the Rochdale Observer in the 1960's which mentions Hugh.
