Additional Information
In the 1911 census, Thomas and Ada were living in Paddington.
Thomas is an enigma. I have not yet identified his parents, although I do know, from the citation on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site that they lived at 14 Bosworth Road North Kensington. From the same source I know that he was married to Ada nee CHANDLER, and that she lived at 13 Golbourne Gardens North Kensington. However, he seems to fit into either of two Kensington families. In the 1911 census he said he was born circa 1887 in Kingston SRY, but there are no birth records to confirm this. It may be that the census enumerator got the place wrong and should have written Kensington, and maybe his age was incorrectly recorded. In which case, he is either Thomas Moses RAMPTON born 1885 to William and Emily (nee MEEDES), or Thomas born 1890 to Charles and Susan Emily (nee COLLINS). From the Commonwealth War Graves Commission citation, however, it is clear that this Thomas died at the third and final Battle of the Somme, and has no grave, but does have his name inscribed on the Thiepval Memorial, Pier and Face 12D 13B. Details of his service can be found on the Rampton War Memorial page.
