Life History

1891	Born in Kingston.

Notes

Thomas Hyde was living with his parents in the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses.
In the 1911 census, aged 20 he is described as a French Polisher 'on own account'.

In 1914, on 6th March Thomas emigrated to New Zealand, travelling on the SS Corinthie from London to Wellington, New Zealand. The passenger list shows:
Thos Hyde, French Polisher, aged 23.
Country of present residence: England.
Country of intended future permanent residence: New Zealand.

Tom is believed to have married Helena and they had a daughter.
No reference to a marriage or children is found before he emigrated, so it appears likely that he married in New Zealand.
