Shared note

My paternal great-grandfather. There is some confusion about his name. His official birth certificate names him as "Jesse John Lomas", but he was baptised as "John Lomas", and in the 1861 census he was also just "John Lomas". All later documentation also has him as "John Lomas". Probably because in 1857 his younger brother was named "Jesse Lomas".
It is interesting to read my father's notes on how he and my mother discovered what John's real name was, and where he was born. As he said, it took them some 18 months, and some inspired detective work.
(Jesse) John Lomas was born 10 Apr 1854 at Woolscott, Granborough, Warwicks, and baptised 21 May 1854 at Grandborough.
In 1861, the family was living at Nethercote, just SW of Braunstone, about 2 M SE of Grandborough.
In 1871, following the death of his mother Sarah Buller in 1862, they were living in Grandborough with John's grandmother Elizabeth Malam (b1801).
He married Mary Ann Turner 22 Jul 1876 at Christ Church, Burton on Trent, where he was living at the time of his marriage, and working as a Breakman (railways). John and his wife had moved to Derby by the time their eldest son Herbert was born in 6 May 1877 at 34 Hulland St, Derby. His second son Walter Lomas was born in 7 April 1880 at 66 Clifton St, Litchurch, Derby, and worked as a Railway Guard. His third son Harry Lomas (my grandfather) was born 13 June 1888 at 26 Barrow St, Derby.
Other addresses include Calvert St (I suspect the order is Hulland St, Clifton St, Calvert St, Barrow St), then 54 Princes St, where they were living during the 1891 census, and finally 82 Pear Tree St, where they moved in 1895, and where both myself and my brother Ken were born. I remember my grandfather Harry saying that he had lived 66 years in Pear Tree St when he left it in 1961.
1881 census: Litchurch Ward, 66 Clifton St, Derby.
On John's death certificate, it says he died at 82 Pear Tree St, Derby on 18 April 1909, aged 56 years. Death registered by Mary Ann Lomas, widow of John, my great-grandmother.
Buried with wife at Nottingham Rd Cemetery, Derby.
Grave location: (from W.J.Lomas 1981): To find grave, go into main entrance, turn right, after approx. 30 yards turn left down path. At first path on the right, turn right, at the water cock, turn right again (facing Derby), grave is about 10 yards along and 10 yards to the left.
Tombstone Inscription: In loving memory of my dear husband John Lomas at rest April 18th 1909, aged 56 years."Peace Perfect Peace".
Also his beloved wife Mary Ann Lomas at rest May 1st 1922 aged 67 years. "Re-United".
