Hi Berri

Thomas Deakins who was born in Buckland in 1838 is the brother of my Great Grand Mother. His parents were Thomas & Elizabeth as your rightly stated. I have no record of Thomas after the 1851 census.

However, Thomas Deakins who married Rachel Franklin (see tiggi's post below) is the subject of a book called 'old ways, new ways' by Lindsey Marsh & Rosie Smith who are descendants of THIS Thomas.

We (Lindsey, Rosie and myself) are desperately trying to prove that the two Thomas's are the same person, so if you have anything to prove this we will be grateful 

Tiggi - someone has just sent me a post asking about the Sampson Hoadley in your post. Apparently he married a Matthews. If I can trace this then the Thomas with Rachel is definately MY Thomas as his sister married a Matthews.

Hi, reading with interest as Thomas Deacons and Rachel Franklin are my husband Paul Deacons' 2nd Great grandparents. I realise this is an old thread but Paul has recently DNA tested and I have added his Ancestry DNA test to MyHeritage and Gedmatch, too.

Debbie,

Paul is a match on Ancestry to my father Ray Roberts. My Great Grandmother was Lizzie Deacon from Sussex.

Maybe these different Deacons are related as I have always thought.

Regards

Paul

Hi All - I know this is a longshot due to the length of time this has all been posted but have just found out whilst researching my family tree that my great aunt Louisa James married Abraham Deakins in 1905 son of Thomas and Rachel.  Looking for any information on these i.e. children and where they lived to try and get some more information.  Any help gratefully received.

Hi Waynus, I have an extensive Family Tree on Ancestry, MyHeritage etc.

Thomas Deakins and Rachel Franklin were my Husband's 2nd Great Grandparents and he has DNA tested, too.

Kind regards,
Debbie
