I'm still not sure if the death cert I have is him or not. My first thought was that it's not, now I'm not sure.
Death cert says Thomas Brewer age 79 a smallware hawker of no fixed abode. The address is apparently the workhouse. The date is 21/02/1927.
Right age, wrong occupation. Previous occuaptions were Ag Lab and Brewers Lab.
I have looked at the birth registrations for the right time scale, there are no Thomas Brewer's born in Nottinghamshire or anywhere near.
1901 and 1911 census give no Thomas Brewer's living in Nottinghamshire.
My Thomas was born in Wiltshire but lived in Burton on Trent area. His son moved to Nottinghamshire so that's why I sent for this cert.
Thomas was definitley alive in 1913 as he registered his wifes death.
There is a Thomas Brewer in Nottingham in 1911 who is 5 years older but he is a lace maker.
My Thomas was born in 1849.
What do you think? I suppose I'll never know for sure
