Hi trish1120, Thanks for your reply. Wow. You have given me so much to go on. I'm new to family research and to this forum so I'm just trying to get my head around it all the moment. I was getting very confused about the different spellings of Mayne. But your reply has helped me to go forward and to remember that surname spellings could have changed or been missed spelt in the records. So Thank You. This has defiantly helped.  :) :)

Hi avm228, Thanks for reading and replying. You defiantly have the right family. Frederick Cyril was by great grandad. I know about him but I have no information at all on the rest of his family. I cant seem to find any trace of them after 1911.
 I did go back though my research so far and I think I made a mistake with Thomas Henry's death year. I think he died in 1912 as you said. So Thank You for looking as I probably would have missed that mistake.  :) :)

Hi Kay99, Thanks for replying. I'm a new to family history researching and I could not find a birth record with the surname Mayne. Maybe I need to look at spelling it Main not Mayne. Hopefully, this has given me a new possible lead. So Thank You  :) :)

Welcome to RootsChat! ;D

First thing to do would be to get a copy of his Birth Certificate.
Birth: March qtr 1869
Clutton Registration District     vol 5c, page 648

Main, Thomas Henry

The Mother's Maiden Name is blank - usually indicating an illegitimate birth.


A PDF copy will cost £7, and can be obtained using the above information from:
www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates

Hello, Thanks for your reply. I will defiantly look into this.

Family History Beginners Board / Looking for any info on Thomas Henry Mayne and his family in Wales.

Hello, I'm looking for any information on my 2x Great Grandfather Thomas Henry Mayne.
(1870-1912) Going back though my records, I realized I have made a mistake with Thomas's death year. It looks like he died in 1912 at the age of 42

I know he was born in a workhouse in Somerset but I have no record of his parents or siblings. He  moved to Wales when he was 15 and worked as a coal miner in Mountain Ash, Wales. In 1895, he married my 2x great grandmother, Mary Jane Cousins (1871-1961). They had 5 children. 2 died as children but the other 3 lived. Apart from my great grandad, I have very limited info on the family after 1911.

Any information about the Mayne family or any hints or tips to help me break this very confusing wall in my tree would be very helpful.

Thanks
