Biography

Thomas Platts was born in about 1796 and baptised on 29 Aug 1796 in Coleorton, Leicestershire, England. He was the son of Joseph and Hannah. ^[1][2]

Thomas married Sarah (Unknown), who was born in Ayrshire, Scotland. At least two of their children were born in Scotland - Eliza and Mary , who were 14 and 11 at the time of the 1841 census. Two more children, Hannah and Harriet, (aged 3 and 2 in 1841) were born in Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom. ^[3]

In 1851, Thomas Platts (58, Ag Lab, born in Kiloton), his wife Sarah (50, born Ayrshire, Scotland) and 12 year old daughter, Harriet (born Wymeswold, Leicestershire) were resident in Far Street, Wymeswold, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom. ^[4]

In 1861, Thomas Platts (66, Agricultural Labourer born in Colston, Leicestershire) and his wife Sarah (60, born in Scotland) were still living in Far Street, Wymeswold, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom. ^[5]

in 1871, Thomas (75, widower and pauper) was resident in Brook Street, Wymeswold, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom. ^[6]

Thomas Platts died age 76 and was buried on 15 Sep 1871 in Wymeswold, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom. ^[7]

Research Notes

Joseph Platts and Hannah Haywood maried on 21st April 1794 in Breedon, James Elverson (spouse of Elizabeth Platts) was a witness. ^[8][9] Thomas is the only child I can find for Joseph and Hannah. There is a death of Joseph Platts of Coleorton Moor the following year after the christening of Thomas, which might explain this, or they could have moved elsewhere. Thomas married in and lived in Scotland, then lived in Wymeswold, so he moved about a fair bit. Maybe his folks did the same? ^[10]
