Biography

Thomas William Airey (1869-1940) was born in Grayrigg, Westmorland on the 31st July 1869. [1] [2] He was the son of James Airey & Elizabeth Bowman who, at the time of Thomas' birth, was farming at Low Fellgate, Grayrigg [3] but just before 1881, took the family to Barrow-in-Furness where his father found work as a general labourer. [4] This venture didn't last long, however, and the family ended up back in Westmorland.

Thomas was employed as a farm servant in 1891 on a farm in Great Asby, Westmorland [5] but subsequently moved south to Liverpool, like his brother James before him.

This is where he met, and then married. Emma Tandy. At the time of the wedding, Thomas was living with his brother James on Arthur Street, Toxteth Park working as a milk dealer. The wedding was at St John the Divine, Fairfield in Liverpool on the 15th July 1896. [6] [7]

There then began a regular sequence of house moves around the Edge Hill, Liverpool area for at least the next decade starting at Stamford Street in 1900, [8] [9] then onto Martensen Street by 1908 [10] [11] via Royston Street [12] and Sirdar Street. [13]

During this tour they added 6 children (3 girls followed by 3 boys). [11] Another brief spell at Nuttall Street took them then to Adelaide Road by the end of WW1. [14] It was here that they stayed for over a decade [15] before moving to Bankburn Road, Tuebrook when Emma died in 1931.

He moved around a little for the next few years and by the onset of WW2 was living at Grovehurst Avenue, Liverpool with one of his daughters, and was now described as a publisher's clerk-retired, his change of occupation having come in the intervening years. [2]

He died in hospital on the 1st July 1940 [16]
