Thomas BRAY of Curry Rivel

['Trish']

Hi I am looking for the parents of Thomas Bray born c1810 married 3 Feb 1833 at Taunton St James to Tamar Williams.  The Brays lived in Curry Rivel, but I am having a trouble locating the parents of Thomas and where he was born.
I found a Frederic Bray born 1825 also Curry Rivel who I believe to be his brother. 
On searching I have also found a John Bray married Taunton St James to a Eliza Peake on 9th Feb 1834, who may also be a brother?  Would be grateful for any assistance as to where they have gone.

regards Trish

Hi there

Just thinking about your Thomas, if you believe Frederick to be a brother, he was baptised Curry Rivel 1825 parents John (cordwainer) and Elizabeth

John Bray cordwainer & Elizabeth Row were married 19 May 1807 Kingsbury Episcopi (freereg), so there is quite a gap between their marriage and Frederick's (1825) and his brother Richard's (1823) baptism. According to freereg thay have completed transcriptions for Curry Rivel up to 1850 so maybe Thomas and any other siblings were baptised elsewhere?

Looking at the 1841 census there is a James Bray born about 1816 shown with Thomas, so maybe there's a sibling? Can't see anything on freereg for James either in Curry Rivel.

Sorry I haven't been able to find Thomas but it does look like he (& James ?)  may have been baptised elsewhere or maybe not baptised at all?

Hi,

In 1851  HO107/1926   f.513  p.5  and 1861  RG9/1631  f.32  p.5  Thomas gives his birthplace as Kingsbury, Somerset and in 1871  RG10/2398  f.34  p.5  he says it is South Waldon, Devon I wonder if that's supposed to be South Molton?
