      Personal Estate under £300.
    Notes 
    • Christening date 14 September 1817, the same day as his sister Harriet.
      1841 census - age 20 (ages were rounded (up) to nearest 5) - 25 would have agreed with christening date.
      Definitely the correct family - there cannot be many men named Thomas LUDFORD married to Violetta.
      1851 census - age 33 (b. 1817-1818)
      Death certificate - Is this the correct death certificate for Thomas LUDFORD?
      Some evidence would say yes, other evidence would say no.
      Positive facts:
      Occupation - Commercial Traveller.
      Informant - Lizzie LUDFORD (daughter-in-law).
      Place of death - Wynn Street, Birmingham - this is close to both Great Colmore Street and Cregoe Street where Thomas had lived previously. Also the proving of his will states he was living at 70 Wynn Street.
      Negative facts:
      The age at death has been altered (officially) from 69 to 66, but Thomas was christened in 1817. If he was christened as an infant, his age at death would have been 62.
