Title: Henry Thomas/Charlotte Phillips-Marriage Record
Post by: pegwill on Friday 08 July 22 08:43 BST (UK)
Hi Guys
I wonder if you can help me again please. This time I’m trying to find the Marriage Record of:
Henry Thomas – 1822-1879 (I’m not clear this is the date of death)
Charlotte Phillips – 1823- Date of death unknown.

My investigations lead me to believe they had a Son – Henry Thomas 1848-1931.
I got his mother’s maiden name (Phillips) from the General Register Office and his Fathers name (Henry Thomas) from his wedding to Charlotte Crawford in 1867.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have a good weekend

Regards

Pegwill

Why did you pick the birth with mmn PHILLIPS?

Is this the one?

THOMAS, JOSEPH mmn PHILLIPS 
GRO Reference: 1846  M Quarter in WESTMINSTER  Volume 01  Page 423

THOMAS, HENRY  JOSEPH mmn  PHILLIPS 
GRO Reference: 1848  J Quarter in WESTMINSTER  Volume 01  Page 446

Is this why? 1851 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGXT-FSL

The mentioned 1867 marriage: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N6JN-KQW

Where is the family in 1861 and folks in 1871?

I can’t see a marriage. Although PHILLIPS is the maiden name shown, she may have married as a widow.

According to 1871 and the marriage of Henry to Charlotte Crawford in 1867, Henry snr is a Smith (tin, white).

If I have the right one in 1871 119 /72/32 his wife is now Sarah.

Here is their marriage, I think, where Henry snr is a Bachelor.

Added,

Believe the marriage entry in 1868 is incorrect. Should read Henry is a widower and Sarah a spinster as her father is William Stokes?

Hi Guys
Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you.
Having assessed all the information I believe the following to be correct:

-   the marriage entry in 1868 is incorrect. Should read Henry is a widower and Sarah a spinster as her father is William Stokes – This would also make sense as Henry Thomas Jnr DOB 1848. The 1891 Census shows Henry a Widower at age 70 making Henry’s DOB 1821 – Close enough.

-   1861 54 /140/47 - Charlotte Thomas transcribed as 38 yrs. but could be 31 yrs so b about 1823 or 1830. Born ‘Hobbrey, Shropshire’ so as suggested probably Habberley, Shropshire. I could not find any ‘Charlotte’ born in Habberley around the two dates.

-   I could not find a Charlotte Thomas who died between 1848 (the birth of Henry Jnr) and 1868 (the date of Henry Sen 2nd Marriage).

-   I assumed that Henry Jnrs mother’s maiden name was Phillips (taken from the Government Register) as in 1848 as far as I could tell Henry Jnr was the only Henry Thomas born in London around that date.

-   I have tried to find any Charlotte who married a Henry Thomas Sen but the ages just do not come together.

So in conclusion, I still need to identify the maiden name of the ‘Charlotte’  who married Henry Thomas Sen giving birth to Henry Thomas Jnr in 1848,  as this it would appear to be the ancestral line I need to trace.
 
Thanks once again for your help. Any further thoughts would be much appreciated.
