Thomas Dark
« on: Friday 29 October 21 16:30 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on THOMAS DARK. He was born in Hanham Gloucestershire and subsequently moved to Wales. I believe he married Mary Williams and they had four children according to the census of 1851.  I found him again in 1871, but mislaid him in 1861. He seems to have disappeared.  If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
