Thomas Barlow Payne

Unmarked grave Thomas Barlow Payne (1881-1925)
Thomas was born in Buckingham in 1881 to Mary Payne, who was unmarried. Mary was a shoe machinist and in April 1881 lived in Fleece Yard, Buckingham with her four sons aged between eight year old Fred and new born Thomas. The names of the fathers of the older boys is unknown, but her boarder was a shoemaker named Ebenezer Barlow, so one has to assume that baby Thomas Barlow Payne was his son.
Mary and Ebenezer married, lived in Elm Street, Buckingham and had two sons and two daughters. All the children, including Thomas, are shown on the 1891 census as Barlow and as Ebenezer’s sons and daughters, so it is possible that he was the father of all of the older boys too.
By March 1901 Thomas had reverted to the surname Payne and was a hairdresser’s assistant, living in the home of his employer in Henley Street, Marylebone, London. Later that year he married Emily Bertha Fisher in the Watford district.
They had two daughters, both born in Watford: Alice Maud (1902) and Gladys Gertrude (1908) and in 1911 the family lived at 15, Fearnley Street, Watford.
By 1921 they had moved to 93, Gossoms End where they were living when Thomas died 11 July 1925 at St Bartholomew’s hospital, London aged only 43. Emily survived him until 1948 and is buried in this cemetery.
