Oooh thank you Margaret...Guildford is interesting - I don;t suppose there are any lodgers there with German- sounding surnames?

Clarence Thomas Platt's father is listed as Joseph Platt a Toll Collector.
In 1911 there is a person of the same name and occupation (the only one) in Barton upon Irwell, Lancashire. He was employed by Manchester Corporation and was born in Manchester. No sign of Clarence Thomas there as well.

Thanks Marg Highly fitting that she worked for a man of the cloth! LOL!!
She went on to marry HW Wicks - probably bigamously -( HW may well have been Clarence T Platt)......I don't now think he was also Clarence Edmund Platt..- I have found Clarence Edmund's birth...may sound a bit far-fetched, but I was thinking about identity theft. and I have discovered on a rummage a German bible with a name inscribed...Hans T Praht Think I need a lie-down - thanks again for your help, Marg Last edited by Muggins in Sussex; 06-02-10 at 23:02. |

Clarence Thomas Platt doesn't appear to exist but his supposed father Joseph a toll collector does.
Joseph has a son Thomas but not a Clarence. Thomas was born about 1883 in Manchester. No Clarence Platt seems to have a birth reg in Manchester either.

The Dowsett family are at that same address in 1911. Do you have that census image Joan?
