William James THOMAS

[EXMOUTH]

William's Father was James Lloyd Thomas -I agree that it would be likely that Mary had a second name but it's not stated on either her birth, marriage or death certificate.
I remember Great-Aunt "Phemie" being spoken of frequently when I was a child and also my Grandmother's stepbrother Bill Renwick who ran a bus company in the Hunter Valley.

Was James Lloyd Thomas in Australia?

Thanks for all this information-yes that's the Bill Renwick as I know he married Myrtle Vallis and she subsequently remarried.
Their daughter Rhonda runs the Latrobe Valley bus company and the Kindred Spirits foundation.
James Lloyd Thomas wasn't in Australia it was only Mary's family who emigrated.
The Thomas family remained in South Wales -my Grandparents and my Mum returned to Wales in1934 and my Mum grew up there.
My Mum's brother Billy Thomas was lauded Rugby for Wales and the Barbarians in the 1960's/70's and came on a tour to Australia.
I'm now looking at passenger lists to see whether George Archibald did actually return to Scotland after Carolinedied

[Jamjar]

Do you know the name of George's parents?

They wouldn't be Thomas and Mary, would they?

31330/1965 George Archibald parents Thomas and Mary HORNSBY

Yes I have George's parents as Thomas and Mary
