John Henry THOMAS
« on: Monday 08 December 14 07:17 GMT (UK) »
abt 1820 - 1879 married Henrietta Fowell CANAVAN 1834 - 1890. I have the children , occupation etc

My brick wall is John's  father - I cannot find a name to start with. One suggestion from an online tree is Thomas THOMAS b 1796 but I cannot evidence it and no response from tree manager.

Can anyone help me find John's father or even his mother please? I have looked on various paid/non paying sites, in the Welsh censuses and online records to no avail.   :'( This is my paternal pedigree line

Hello Debsss

Can I assume you don't have a copy of their marriage cert ?

Henrietta  Fowell Canavan
John Henry Thomas

Jun q 1852
Registration district
Haverfordwest

11a 965
Hopefully Fathers names will be on cert
You can apply online to the General Record Office in Southport & give them the above info.

Good Luck

Thank you omega re GRO.  I've just discovered another chatter who has asked questions many years ago about other members of the same extended family. So I will message her too.

The father named as Henry THOMAS on the marriage cert. No mother mentioned. We think the mother may be Elizabeth Parcell.

Hello Debsss
Thank-you for letting my know.
Not sure if you are aware,but the Mothers names aren't on Welsh/English marriage certs,only Fathers

Can you tell my where John was living when he married?then I will see what I can find out for you.

King regards

John Henry Thomas is shown as from Begelly in later censuses, and presumably this is the marriage of who you believe to be his parents?
