Thomas John Crockett

1842 - 1924  (82 years)

• Name	Thomas John Crockett
  Born	1842	Halifax, Nova Scotia   [1]
  In this marriage record, the groom's parent were identified as Thomas and Eleanor Crockett. It doesn't give Eleanor's maiden name but noted that Thomas Sr. was a seaman. It also noted Thomas Jr. (age 27) was a clerk and that Margaret was 24 years old.
  Gender	Male
  Died	2 Jul 1924	Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada   [2]
  Cause: arteriosclerosis
  The information on Thomas' death certificate was given by his daughter, Eleanor Beatrice Crockett. She gave her grandfather's name correctly as Thomas Crockett, born in Scotland. However, she misspoke her grandmother's name as Elena Lawrence, who was born in Halifax. I not sure of the reason for the confusion but Thomas's mother was Eleanor Saunders. However, her father's aunt, Sarah Saunders, was married to Nicholas Lawrence so it appears Eleanor confused her grandmother's surname with that family. On the death certificate, it states that her father was an accountant so this information agrees with occupation titles (clerk, bookkeeper) recorded in earlier censuses records and other documents.
  Buried	5 Jul 1924	Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada   [2]
