Hi again Jed!

Best to post on one cboard at a time, as a lot of the resources are shared.  Post again on another board if local knowledge is needed for a specific problem.  You will have to try to keep these posts updated, so people don't do the same look-ups over again!  Live n learn!

David appears to be a farm servant in 1881, in Nevern Crigiau (I think it says!), Pembrokeshire.  With RICHARDS family.

There was a choice of 2, but the other is already married & I suspect he could be the red herring sanitary inspector posted for 1891!

You can find it yourself at familysearch (LDS site)

There are tens of Sarah THOMASes in the censuses, so even with her father's name, life is difficult!

The marriage cert (which I assume you have seen?) should give an occupation for her father  which will enable us better to distinguish between the options!

On the off chance he is a miner I found one ~

RG9/4112/79/33

David THOMAS coalminer, wife Sarah, dau Sarah Ann@ Llanelly in 1861

I haven't checked to see how many Sarah (without ANN or A) also have a father called David!
