Looking for the parents (or birthdate) of a James Thomas.

[groom]

In which case, perhaps the elder Jane Thomas is John Thomas' sister?  Not sure if that helps us any.

She can't be his sister as she is a widow, so Thomas is her married name. She was born in Llandilo, Carmarthenshire, so not the same place as John.

Too true!  Thanks for that! I'm learning as I go - I need to keep a closer eye on the little details!
