London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / THOMAS READ AND WIFE ELIZABETH ? BETHNAL GREEN
« on: Sunday 17 December 17 15:10 GMT (UK) »
Hope someone can help. I have been searching for years for the marriage of a Thomas READ and his wife Elizabeth (surname unknown). I think he was born circa 1789 and she circa 1791. Both were weavers in Bethnal Green. Lived at 17 Wilmot Street, Bethnal Green. Some years ago a lady helped me with what she could find but it appears that the wife's information may not be whom I am searching for.
On census' she says she was born at St Lukes, Middlesex but don't know her surname
Thomas also says he was born Middlesex.
I do not know when they married but they had the following children that I know of:
Jane 1828 - she was a weaver also
Charles 1829 - this guy came to Australia.
Benjamin 1835
Alfred 1835
I was told that there may have been a James 1827, and a George 1820, and an Emma 1824 but I am not sure of any of this.
Hope someone can tell me Elizabeth's surname. I have a marriage record for Thomas READ and Elizabeth Wilks Legassick but not sure about this marriage.
We have a record that a William READ and Sarah were Thomas' parents but this is not proven.
