On August 21st 1906 Thomas married Ethel Bromley (born 8th May 1882). Thomas and Ethel lived initially at Russell Place in Cross Houses, Salop, until ‘The Hollies’, a property specially built for them at a cost of £375, was ready for occupation later that year. This was next to the Post Office & General Store in Cross Houses, run by William & Elinor Bromley (Ethel’s parents). The Hollies was later used as the Post Office with Thomas as the receiver (The name of T.R. Sides as receiver can be seen in Wildings Directory of 1916). Thomas also ran a shoemaking business from a workshop at the rear of the Hollies referred to as ‘General Shoemaking & Specialised Shoemaking for Hospitals’, following in the footsteps of his father. Thomas & Ethel had the following children, all born at the Hollies:- |
