| If you estimate 2 years /child (most familes will average that over time) and if the 7 kiddies & Dad picture was taken late during WWI (say 1917-1918), so subtracting 14 years roughly marriage date as early as 1903 or 1904 as late as 1910. |

I tried that route.
During WW2 the bulk of WW1 Army service records were transferred to one of the home counties for 'safe keeping'...on returning from a bombing raid the German planes randomly discharged any bombs not used.
Yes. A bomb hit the storage facility where my Granfather's and millions of others were stored. an amount of which were burnt beyond recovery, his being one of them..!
So as you can see...not an easy exercise, but, I'll get there with all the help from you lovely people. |

Invaluable stuff Jan Peter.
Grandfather's name is indeed shewn as Christine on the tablet in the Sailor's Church, Ramsgate harbour. I note also that the census shews Tompson, not Thompson. My two uncles, Tom & Frank had yet to be born. Maud's last two children of 7. With regard the other two people shewn I have never heard of them. Possibly lodgers..? An interesting aside: My Auntie Marge and Mother Daisy always said their Father was a carpenter. His shewn occupation as Timber Merchant possibly confirms their statements.
The puzzle unravels..! |

Rose Malinda Joanna Tompson
Christening: 12 Jul 1905, St. Paul's, Ramsgate, Kent, England
Father's Name: Christine Tompson
Mother's Name: Maud Olivia Tompson
Rose is listed as 8 y.o. in the 1911-census, and should thus have been born in 1903, but is prob. born in 1905.
The census says the parents have been married for 8 years, ie about 1903.
I guess they married in Ramsgate, Kent, England about 1904 (+/- 1 year).

| I have been in touch with Births Marriages and deaths for Thanet, Kent where St Laurence is a district. I was told they have no record of their marriage. I will recall them giving them information which you supplied a few posts back. I hope that will do the trick for their marriage Cert. |

I was hoping their firstborn child Rose Malinda Joanna was named after maternal and paternal grandmother, but it seems not? It looks like Maud Olivia's mother was named Mary?

Thomas Fast Head 1850 Brixham, Devonshire
Mary A Fast Wife 1852 Ramsgate, Kent
John Fast Son 1883 Ramsgate, Kent

Cristian Tompson (note spelling) married Maud Olivia A Fast in Thanet District in the third quarter of 1903. If you want to order their marriage cert from the GRO office in Liverpool, the reference is Thanet, 2a 2093.
Marriages Sep 1903 (>99%)

Thank-you David. Invaluable information. I will act on this.
Would contributors excuse my naivety. I have a single photograph of Maud Fast...after marriage..? and Also a photograph of Christian, In British Army uniform with ALL of their children, possibly pre 1918.
My Question: How can I upload them to this site..? |
