Thomas Elder, 1896
Thomas Elder, my great great grandfather, opened for business as a shoemaker in 1896 according to the 1896 Derry Almanac and Directory. In 1896 the Derry Almanac and Directory cost only one shilling. Variations of the advert shown appeared for several years following 1896.

Thomas Elder is my great grandfather, His daughter Sarah Elder married my grandfather Samuel Warke 30th January 1900 . They had 10 children my father Robert Kerr Warke is the last surviving son born 21/10/1922.
Dad has confirmed his grandfather was a shoe maker. Have been trying to search the Warke/Elder family tree.
I now live in Bournemouth, but was born in Belfast.
May have a little more info if you like.
Hope this is helpful.

This is my great grandfather his daughter Sarah Elder married my grandfather Samuel Warke. They had 10 children. My father Robert Kerr Warke is the last one living, he is almost 86.
I obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel and Sarah which gave his name. My father also confirmed these details.
