Donhead St.Mary - BROCKWAY, Thomas marriage

[OzzieJoan]

Thomas BROCKWAY b.ca.1810 presumably married and had 3 children all Donhead St.Mary:
William 1835; Fanny 1836; and, Maria 1837.

I have no idea who their mother was. The family moved to Wales sometime between the birth of Maria, and 1841 as they are in Trevethin, Mon on the 1841 census. Thomas, died in Abersychan, Mon.

Thanks for this information if it exists.

Father -Thos. Brockway

Fanny's and William's christenings on familysearch.org also, with the same parents.  You now at least have the mother's first name.

There is another couple Thomas married to an Ann but they have a child in 1832 so I would say it is likely Ann Lampard is the one you are looking for.

Crisane and Kay, thank you so much. That looks spot on. Now I will be able to look for Ann's family.
