Good find Maddie !

I have not got a subscription to Ancestry or FindMyPast so can't search the census etc myself .

Everything is beginning to fit perfectly.

I am now officially of the belief that Thomas is Martha's father.  ;D

It is certainly looking as if Thomas could be Martha's father. ;D

Just checked son Joseph, he married Ann Tufney in 1809 & is also in Chorleywood on the census.

You should be able to find the marriages on Family Search so if you are stuck looking for the families in the census just come back here & I'll do what I can to help. Hopefully something will turn up to absolutely connect Martha with Thomas, Sarah & kids.

Yes i am now happy to go with Thomas being the father  ;D

I will continue to properly search for an actual link with Thomas when i join either Ancestry of FindMyPast.

If i need a census lookup before that i will let you know. Thanks.

Thanks again for all your help Maddie.  :)

You are welcome. ;D

You might find FindMyPast more helpful for the Herts marriage & baptism images ;)  but of course it depends on what other counties you are looking at. ::)

Found some more old notes of mine from when i searched for William Humphrey.

1861 census :
William Humphrey age 80 born Rickmansworth living next door to Eliza Coster nee Brister (Daughter of Martha and my 3x G Grandmother). William is a visitor of Ann Collier nee Humphery age 64 born Rickmansworth widow of Daniel.

William & Ann must be the children of Thomas & Sarah born 1781 & 1796 respectively.  ;D

Living next door to those above on the 1861 is Charlotte Coster married to William & she is nee Humphrey the daughter of Joseph who is also living with her, all at Quickley Green, Chorleywood. ;D

Looking extremely good to me. ;D ;D

Thanks Maddie. Good find  :)

I have a photocopy of that census page but not the next page in which Joseph Humphrey must be listed.

Also living next door to them is George Humphrey and family. He was the son of Joseph as well.

Very interesting how they are all close together.

The next page to the one you have in 1861 has,

William & Charlotte's children, Emma b 1856, Edward b1859, then Joseph Humphreys (father) b 1788, then his daughter Isabella b 1816, next Thomas Humphreys b 1820, his wife Caroline b 1829 their daughters Ann b 1858 & Rosetta b 1859. Next family is the Sedwell's, Charles & Lottie with 5 kids, then William Coster b 1791 & his wife Hannah b 1791, next to them is David & Sarah Brister with daughter Elizabeth b 1853 & son Daniel b 1855.

From Thomas & Caroline down the address is Chorleywood Bottom which is where Martha lived in 1841. The family have definitely all stayed close.
