Title: Thomas Surname
Post by: helenar on Sunday 27 October 19 02:34 GMT (UK)

Hello

I am looking for information on Mary Thomas born sometime around 1800 to about 1820.

Mary Thomas married William Male and they had a son William Thomas Male b. 1838 St Augustine, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. I have a lot of information on William Thomas Male and his family. What I am looking for is his parents marriage record and a birth/baptismal record for both his parents.

I am also interested in this Sweet/Thomas family below as there could be a connection on my Thomas line

John Sweet married Elizabeth Thomas 1790 St James, Bristol, Gloucestshire, England
John and Elizabeth had a son James Joseph Sweet and he married Mary Hawkins Thomas 1827
St James, Bristol, Gloucestshire, England

Mary Hawkins Thomas, her father was William and mother Elizabeth her surname is unknown but could be Thatcher (grandson's middle name) or might be Hawkins these are options

I also have Hawkins family from Bitton and back further the Sweet family have connections to Bitton. So I wondered if there was connection with these families

I have been looking for a long time so any help on getting a marriage record or birth record for William Male or Mary Thomas would be appreciated and any potential links on the Thomas lines above. These families could have Somerset connections also.

Is Marys name as Thomas from the actual Birth Cert of William Thomas Male or Baptism?
The GRO Reg of his Birth as you know has Mothers mn as Thomas but I am trying to establish if she was single or widowed when she married William Male?

Hi

The name Mary Thomas is from the actual birth certificate. William their son did not have middle name Thomas on the birth certificate but he used it as a middle name on other records through his life.

Thanks
Helena

Are the parents on a census with birthplace for each of them? 

Not seeing young William before he gets married  :-\

Thanks Trish and Milliepede

I can't find him either until he gets married and have never found a record for his parents on a census or anywhere else. I have birth certificate then marrriage certificate

I have this info but cannot find a connection to these people either,

In the 1861 Census, William and Annie, newly married, are sharing a dwelling with an Ann CHAPMAN age 50 (b abt 1811) marrried, Laundress,  but no husband there  - b Nailsea Somerset, and her 2 daughters. Lyriel 23 and Emma 10

Ann Chapman 1851 census she might be a Harris as daughter Charlotte has Harris as a middle name on this census
