Hi

I am having doubts over the death of Thomas in 1858 and wondering if it has just been assumed by the person who posted it on their tree on Ancestry that it was 'his' Thomas.  :-\

I can see a couple of possible Elizabeth Tilleys in the 1841 census without husbands.  There are also some Thomas Tilley deaths on FindMyPast index prior to 1841 that could be him. Obviously if you have him on census prior to 1858 then I am barking up the wrong tree.

  I have just been looking at the Posse Comitatus for Bucks from 1798...
 There are no Tilley family listed for Newport Pagnell.
 Bootmakers/cordwainers are listed. There are Tilleys in Haversham about 2 miles away so maybe connected back a generation. A William is also baptised in Haversham in 1808 but can account for him.
 As for who Elizabeth was ..... Austin or Brey.... well he was baptised in Newport Pagnell so unless baptised twice I think they can be discounted.
  It is possible Thomas died prior to 1841 census but I cannot find Elizabeth ...only on 1861 with William and family.
 I havent made it up to the records for ages as I now work but I will have a dig around and see if I can find anything.

I have been checking all the printing I have done in the pursuit of my family, and things are beginning to gell.The Newport Pagnell Thomas,(b.1785) does seem to fit together with other information which I have.
 Something rather interesting has just occured, however when I checked him on Ancestry. I discovered to my amazement, that I have, in an official capacity, been contacted by the owner of the tree....he lives locally. I have sent him a message, and hope he will contact me...unofficially. It could be that we are, perhaps, remotely related...at least we seem to have an ancestor in common.
If anyone is interested to know the outcome of this, just ask!

I am sure we are all interested, it is always good to see where these paths lead.

I have just spent an hour with a man who is related to me through William Henry Tilley and lives 50 yards from my home. I haven't been able to find the early Thomas, but at least something good has come from my efforts. We are obviously keeping in touch....not difficult!

  Hi ....
 
 found some removal orders around the time of Thomas' birth...
 Elizabeth & Sarah Tilley r/o to St Cuthberts Bedford  1785
  Ann Tilley to St Martin in the fields Middlesex 1789
 Burial Sarah Tilley aged 75  on 26 Oct 1864 widow

 a note that the widow Tilley was excluded from Newport Pagnell Independant Chapel in 1835.

Hi, Tazzie,
Thanks for the information.....interesting, but rather vague...not your fault!
I fear that short of a miracle, I may never get back to Thomas' ancestors, but I suppose i have not done so badly to get as far as I have.

  Hi ...

 as he did not show up in Newport I looked to see if anyone of the name was local at the time but as you see no clues there either. Let us know how you get on.

My third cousin and I have met a couple of times, made notes, and will be persuing new avenues.
Thank you for your interest, and what a good idea Rootschat is!
