I did check a tree on ancestry and he was on there. Thomas was married, but it didn't have any details of names

One of the best ways of making connections is to put your tree on here.

As far I can see, you haven't yet done so

Have you looked in search all member trees for others who may be researching the various Steels about whom you have been enquiring

You will need to investigate the possibilities, which would mean investing in certs to find out the name of the father on each one

The location of his parents' marriage is irrelevant

the sister was Annie, not Anne

There doesn't seem to be an obvious marriage for him. Then again the man could have married anywhere, if he did indeed marry.

Do you have any evidence that he married please?
