Thomas worked as a Colliery Cartman. Amazingly Gertrude has been written incorrectly in the enumeration book. She is listed as Gertrude Green. The mistake has arisen I believe as the widow who is enumerated next is Mary A Green. My guess is this book was written later from notes, as so many were, hence the error. I am sure this is the correct Gertrude, she is described as single and of course Chester le Street is where she met and married George.⁶ She married George William Greathead, son of George Greathead and Mary Ann Moses, on 18 April 1903 in St Patricks Parish Church, Winlaton, Gateshead, Durham, England, afer the banns were read.
