Thomas married Isabella Charlotte Greenham (b.1853 Collingwood,Victoria,Aust.) in 1873.The marriage is registered in Victoria,Australia.Thomas was born in England and I believe may have migrated to Australia in about 1869, possibly with a brother.Thomas & Isabella lived in the Footscray suburb of Melbourne,Victoria. I believe he died about 1918/19 in Victoria.He and Isabella are recorded in the Australian Electoral Rolls, but his name no longer appears as 1920 approaches. They remained as far as I know, in the Footscray area.Family oral history has him as a plasterer or stonemason in Footscray, and one story has him returning to England before the end of the WW1, but I think this unlikely due to restrictions on travel.
Any information would be gratefully received.
