Biography

Flag of Yorkshire (adopted 2008)
Thomas Bilbrough was born in Yorkshire, England.

Thomas Bilbrough was born on September 21, 1831 in Gildersome, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, the youngest child of James Bilbrough and Ellen, née Priestley. [1][2]

Birth

Thomas Priestley Bilbrough was born on 21 Sep 1831 in Gildersome, West Riding Yorkshire.[3]

Marriage

Thomas Priestley Bilbrough and Gertrude Elizabeth Bates were married on 16 May 1860 in St Mary, West Derby, Lancashire, England.[4]

  1. Edward Ernest, b. Liverpool, Lancashire, England, 6 Mar 1861, d. Auckland, New Zealand, 27 Mar 1891.[5][6]
  2. Gertrude Winifred, bap. 4 Mar 1863., d. 24 Dec 1922.
  3. Charles Francis Stanhope, b. Liverpool, Lancashire, England, 19 Dec 1868, d. Tangier, Morocco, 28 Nov 1944.[7][8]

Four years after his marriage, in the 1861 census, [9]he is described as a 'Wool Broker', but on 5 August 1864, the wool broker partnership he had with one Malcolm Greame, in Liverpool, was dissolved. [10] He continued to work alone as a wool broker from the Public Saleroom at 14, Cook St., Liverpool, where, for example, on 10 August 1866, he was offering 370 bales of wool from East India.[11]In the mid 1800s, Indian wool was less important than cotton. Between 1840 and 1849, 75 million lbs of cotton was imported from India; by 1857, the amount of wool imported was only 19,341,021 million lbs. In 1844, sheep wool from India amounted to 3% of total British wool imports. By 1857, its importance to the British market had increased, when 15% of imported wool came from India.[12]

On 2 November 1870, Thomas was still a wool broker and selling 800 bales of East Indian wool from The Temple on Dale Street.[13]The following 20 May, the Liverpool Daily Post reported that Thomas P. Bilbrough would be offering 800 bales of East Indian wool from The Temple on Friday 26 May. [14]

In the 1891 census, on 5 April, Thomas and Gertrude were not living in the same place. Thomas and his daughter Gertrude Winifred were living at no. 305, Edge Lane, West Derby with one servant, Elizabeth Jones; visiting them, at least that Sunday night, was Thomas' nephew, George E. Knott.

Bilborough-21 and Bilbrough-67 appear to represent the same person because: They're identical - same names, same dates of birth and death - same spouse. Only thing which is slightly different is Thomas' mother's name - her mother was Jane Jones, her father was Brooks Priestly.
