I guess you'll have fund your info by now, but just in case: Thomas Torr was the
brother of my gt gt gt grandfather, his parents were
Charles Cavill (b 1809 Sheffield) and
Ann (Hannah) Gibbons (b 1812 Oughtibridge)
Thomas was their eldest son, Matilda was his second wife, he had 2 children with his first
wife and I know of 6 children with Matilda. He and Matilda lived in Sheffield and Thomas
worked as a Table blade Forger.
It's been a bit tricky following him in the census returns... or would be if it
wasn't for the Tor - his place of birth changed from Sheffield to Wales for 1881 and
his name changed to CAVELL in 1891 - as it did for most of the family.
hope this is useful to someone!
