Jessica is descended from a Thomas TERRY whose grandmother was Jessie Sophie TERRY. There are two alternative Thomas TERRYs and despite many searches we still can't come to a conclusion as to which Thomas is the right one! What I think is below and that is how I have amended my details…. Thomas TERRY and Jessie Sophie GRAY had (amongst others) two sons.. Theodore Arthur James TERRY who married Florence Jane PILCHER and Augustus Herbert James TERRY who married Elizabeth TIBBOTT Both brothers had a son Thomas.. I think Theodore's was born 20 February 1906 36 Alpine Road, Rotherhithe, Surrey and Augustus's was born 5 December 1905 Bermondsey, London (although Ginger and Jessica think the other way round...see below for details). One of the Thomases went to Australia in 1923 age 17....so it could be either. When Thomas married in Australia in 1939 he gave his mother's name as TIBBET...(source Jessica COLEMAN and Ginger HOLINKA) and the information that his father was deceased....although he later told his daughter that his parents were killed in the war. Of the two possible fathers Theodore died in 1931 (agrees with wedding information) and Augustus in 1943 (agrees with information given to daughter). Apparently Thomas cut off all links to his wife's family and had no contact with his own....so the information about his father - whichever version - dead before 1939 or died in war - could be suspect if he wanted to cut all links with home. However, giving his mother's name as TIBBET in 1939 it would seem that he was the son of Augustus Herbert James and was born 5 December 1905. In 1923 when emigrating to Australia he gave his address as 94 Dennets Road, New Cross, London SE. I tried looking for that on the 1911 as Jessica suggested perhaps his grandmother lived there but Jessie Sophie was in Bermondsey in 1911 and she died in 1934 in the St Olave District which includes Bermondsey so I don't think that could be the case. However, no Dennets Road information came up so no help there anyway. However, when Thomas was 65 he wanted a pension so in 1971 obtained a birth certificate (copy held by Jessica and Ginger) which shows his mother's name as PILCHER...and birth date as 20 February 1906. And obviously the father must have been shown as Theodore! What did Thomas think when the certificate arrived? He had given his mother's name in 1939 as TIBBETT, now in 1971 she is shown as PILCHER! Going on which family I think he belongs to the date on the certificate was wrong and both parents were wrong….. I just feel that in 1939 he provided the information that his mother's name was TIBBET...why would he give that name if it was actually PILCHER? Did he perhaps think....well...it's a birth certificate…...I can use it to get my pension regardless of the differences? I have entered these notes for Thomas, Jessie, their two sons, and their two Thomas grandsons. If anyone can provide information to clarify this problem we would be delighted to hear from them. 1943 32 Wills Street, Townsville, Herbert, Queensland, Australia (Australia Electoral Roll) At this address Martha Florence TERRY and Thomas TERRY 1949 er.
