Possible marriage.

Thomas Gwilliam - Mary Bailey. 1834 Walford, Herefordshire.
Mary Gwilliam. death 1839 Ludlow.

Thank you Osprey, I am referring to this previous posting, Mary Gwilliam died 1839, did they have any children between 1834 and 1839.  Sorry if I confused you.

don't think I'm confused. The Mary who died in 1839 is not Mary Bailey who married in 1834 in Walford as she is still alive and having children later and did not marry your Thomas anyway
birth regs as examples
Elizabeth Gwilliam dec qtr 1843 Ross vol 26 pg 215 mother's maiden name Bailey - bp 10 Dec  Walford
Thomas Gwilliam sept qtr 1850 Ross vol 26 pg 250 mother's maiden name Bailey - bp 1 Sep  Walford

The Mary Gwilliam death registered in Ludlow in 1839 is unrelated to this family, she was 58. There's a death registered at Abergavenny in 1839 which is possible but I haven't spotted a burial for any extra info, or a possible marriage to your Thomas. There is a possible marriage at Llanfoist 25 Dec 1838 of a John Gwilliam & Mary Cawthorn which could account for the Mary Gwilliam death registered at Abergavenny in 1839.

The 1834 marriage of a Thomas Gwilliam in Walford is not your Thomas. The previous marriage of your Thomas has not been found as yet. I'll have another look later. Forget the 1834 marriage and 1839 burial, they are unrelated.

Thank you so much Osprey, I was getting confused !!

Purely from a geography point of view the marriage in Llangarren 11 Dec 1829 of Thomas Gwillym
And Rachel Williams might be a possibility, unless they are in the 1841 together

there's a possible for Thomas bp 7 Oct 1834 on the same census page in 1841 as your Thomas, with a family called Clayton in Oak Cottage HO107/431/16 folio 38 pg 4.
Haven't spotted him after this as yet.

Our Thomas was born 1811, shown in 1841 census living at Lillarsbrook House, Whitchurch.  Susannah Haines later to be his wife, was also living and working at the same address, they then married in 1843.    So think we can wipe that suggestion out, thanking you.   Will look into the other ones shortly.

Looking at last,  one marriage to Rachel Williams, our Thomas would only have been 18 when he married Rachel in that case, making her 12 years older than him, think that one would be crossed out, probably.

 Thomas Gwillim and Susannah Haines were living and working at Lillarsbrook House, Whitchurch in 1841 census.     Also living at the same property were Caroline Meek, Daniel Meek, Mary Meek and Eliza Jones.    So you say there is a registration 1840 for a Margaret Meek, but she must still be alive when our Thomas & Susannah married, as she had a daughter Margaret in 1847. So we can cross that one out.   Interesting to see the Meek connection. Wondering where is Presteigne in relation to Whitchurch or any villages nearby?  Having copy of marriage certificate for Thomas & Susannah, showing Thomas as a Widower at that time, does confirm prior marriage.

Now to update on other details, Thomas Gwillim was son of William Gwillim b. 1776 at Harewood and Margaret Matthews.   In 1841 census, his father William Gwillim was living at Michaelchurch, aged 66 years, by 1851 census, he was living with his son Thomas Gwillim and Susan (Susannah) at Monmouth.
