henry thomas/family

[sharon30]

i know its a long shot as Thomas is a popular name but maybe someone out there can help with this.

trying to trace partners family tree and not having much luck as his grandad Henry Thomas seems to have fallen out with his parents/siblings and never spoke of them again as far as we know.this is what we know.

HENRY THOMAS born 29-03-1888 in pembroke area, died 1972 in Nantyffllon,nr.bridgend, s.wales was a miner before he died.
He married a MARGARET THOMAS ( maiden name also THOMAS)born in the narberth area.they had 6 children of their own.
He is supposed to have had 8 or 9 brothers and 1 sister who was called annie, 2  names for brothers are benjamin and jim, these 3 moved to birkenhead, men worked on liverpool docks.others were farmers in the pembroke area.

can anyone help/ as would appreciate the kick start with this.
many thanks to you in advance

You're right it's not going to be an easy job, looking at the 1891 census there are 6 Henry Thomas's with birth years between 1887 and 1889, places of birth listed as Bosherston, Fishguard, Llangwm, Llanryan, Llanrhian and St Issels. 

As you have his date of birth, it would be best if you started by getting his birth certificate which will give you his address as well as the parents names, including mother's maiden name and hopefully this will help identify the family in the 1891 census.  His marriage certificate will also give both fathers names and occupations, as well as bride and groom's occupations and a couple of witnesses who may be related.  They would have been married after the 1901 census so it will be more difficult to trace forward than it might be to trace backward.
