Thomas and Kitto Family.

Back to the children of John and Mary Ann Thomas

There is a possibility for Joseph in 1891, living in 118 St Helens Rd, Abergavenny

Jos Charles Thomas  Head  Mar  32  Labourer Colliery Haulier  bn Ridge Hill Herefordshire
Mary Jane Thomas  Wife  Mar  26  bn Orcop Hill, Herefordshire
Ann Pember  Mother in Law  Widow  64  Laundress, bn Madley Herefordshire
RG12; Piece: 4347; Folio 11; Page 16

If this is the right Joseph, then from the 1911 census it looks as if he and his wife had a child late in life - Arthur Harry Thomas aged 4, born in Pontypridd.  Joseph is still working in a colliery, but they are now living in 5 Foundry Place, Pontypridd.  Wife MAry Jane is also with them.

I think that to prove it is the right Joseph, you'd have to get the marriage cert to get father's name.  Suspect that they married Mar qtr 1885, Hereford 6a 699 (Joseph Thomas and Jane Pember)

Looking at the 1881 census, it appears as if Francis and [Michael] Edward are in Hereford Union Workhouse on Commercial Road.  Both boys were born at Ridge Hill (ties up with Joseph's POB).  Francis is 13, a scholar and tailor.  Edward is 11 and a scholar. RG11/2595/119/10

Did Mary marry a Watkins as well?

Horsemans Green, Halghton, Flintshire
Michael E Thomas  Head  Mar  33  Living on own means  bn Herefordshire
Emily M C Thomas  Wife  Mar  36  bn Shrewsbury
Edward V C Thomas  son  11mnths?  bn Welshpool, Mont
Mary A Watkins  Mother  wid  70  Living on own means  bn London

Michael Edward Thomas mar Emily Mary Corbet Davies in Sept qtr 1898, Forden 11b 261

[Spidermonkey]

In 1911, Michael Edward Thomas and Emily Mary Corbet Thomas are living at 8 Belmont Road, Hereford with their two sons Edward John Corbet Thomas aged 11, bn Castle Caerinion (?), Welshpool, Mont and Richard William Corbet Thomas aged 9 bn Hanmer, Flintshire

Suspect that Mary Ann (surname Watkins) died Dec qtr 1907 Ellesmere 6a 423 aged 76

Hi, I realise that some years have gone past since the last entry on this thread and I wonder if anyone is monitoring? I found this thread by Googling "Kitto"
Mary Ann Kitto was my paternal great grandmother. Her first husband (the well named John Thomas) died in 1869 and Mary Ann re-married to a Mr Langford. My name is Thomas so our branch is from the earlier marriage.
Referring back to the entries in the forum, the information from SpiderMonkey agrees with information I have gleaned but is not connected to the original request from KMcKenzie. It does not add to the original request unfortunately. Is this why the thread died?
Kind Regards...

Hi Hotray,

Welcome to RootsChat.

KMcKenzie started off his research by posting the topic that spidermonkey was helping out with, sadly KMcKenzie never came back. Since then we have tried to make contact but sadly he has changed his email address which means we are no longer able to make contact with him.

When we loose contact with old members we do leave a little note underneath the profile name to advice anyone viewing the post.

Hope that this helps with your questions.

Regards

Sarah
