Hmm... I see the image, wonder why you can't. I'll try another method.

Also- not all children were christened soon after birth. I've had some done in batches, including three children and their cousin christened on the day of their grandfather's funeral. My 2xgt grandfather was nine years old when he was done, alongside his two younger sisters.

One of my families was Methodist (Wesleyan or Primitive originally, I forget, then United Free later on). I have an original copy of a certificate showing that my great grandmother was christened but have not found the entry online. I have found one of her sisters, however. I don't doubt the rest were done, perhaps excluding the three infant losses, but I have no other records of it happening.

If this were me, I would send another message updating him but if he doesn't feel inclined to continue the conversation after that, drop it. It isn't like you are just poking him out of the blue, you have actual info to share so that's a good excuse for another attempt at talking to him. He may have forgotten to speak to his mother at all, especially if he's not that invested in family history. If you continue the contact, he might say "oh, my mother remembers [Joe Bloggs]!"

I know the feeling though. It can be incredibly awkward messaging someone a second time if they didn't reply the first time.

There's more than one Thomas THOMAS who married an Elizabeth. Looking on census, I think the ones who are older might be Thomas THOMAS and Elizabeth JONES who married in 1817. There is another couple to consider- Thomas THOMAS 1812 Llandysiliogogo and Elizabeth 1812 Llangranog. I don't know where they are in 1861 but in 1851 they are living as a couple and 1871 they have an adopted daughter Jane WATKINS. Their ages would match an 1835 marriage date. Worth checking out?

It could be that since he is a generation removed he doesn't have enough DNA in common with some of those cousins in order to match with them.
