yes he said she couldn't have been married to that thomas powell as he is on the 1861 census with his parents but if another marriage can be found  it is possible that they got married after the census and a child  could still be born same year if she was pregnant getting married

I see thanks.  Maybe Thomas was counted twice?  Once in his own household and his parents put him down as well  :-\

Are the details for both Thomas' identical age birth place occupation etc

Thomas Powell 26 born West Dean Glos - can't clearly read occupation, could be coal miner
Caroline 23

Is this the other Thomas?  If so he is younger and has a different occupation.
