Merthyr Tydfil- THOMAS birth help please

[Amanda_Keeling]

Hi,

Could anyone offer advice or help me in finding further details of a person. The person/family I am trying to research into is a;

Letitia Thomas born in  Merthyr Tydfil 1841. I have done a BMD search and found some info although do not know if it will mean anything to anyone. District 53 XXVI although I cannot make out page number. I have been able to trace Letitia Thomas from 1871 census onwards but am struggling to research further back into her line and am unable to locate her on the 1841 or 1851 census. I do know though that on 1861 census she was living with and married to a Samuel Johnson in Stoke On Trent. Staffordshire.

So can anyone suggest or help me find Letitia.

Thanks Amanda

Hi

She was born in the September qtr 1841 Volume number 26 Page 378 - Merthyr Tydfil

She was born after the 1841 census so I will check the 1851 for you

Thankyou I think from her marriage certificate I remember her father being a James Thomas c1815 occupation - Ironfounder.

Thanks again

Hi

I can't find her in 1851 

You say 

that on 1861 census she was living with and married to a Samuel Johnson in Stoke On Trent. Staffordshire.

Can you post the 1861 reference as I cannot find them

Is this their marriage?

Staffordshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1860

JOHNSON Samuel THOMAS Letice Shelton, St Mark Stoke-On-Trent 27/04/148

The 1881 shows her b 1845 Merthyr but the 1871 shows her b 1841

I wonder if she is the 1841 Letitia?

There are 2 Letitia Thomas deaths in 1842 in Merthyr and then there is an 1843 Letitia Thomas birth in Merthyr

I was just wondering whether the 1841 Letitia could have died in 1842 and your Letitia is the one b 1843

She married as Letice and on the 1871 and 1881 she is Lettice - not Letitia
