Hi friends,

Out of all of Roberts children (Sarah, Betsy/Elizabeth, Rebecca, William, Jane & Ann) I cannot find any link for Thomas Timms. He has shown up on other peoples trees, born the right time and right place exactly, but I cannot find a source to prove the link. I only have records of his marriage to Ann Palmer in 1831.

Marriage in 1831:

Census in 1871:

Thank you to all for helping me solve my little mysteries :)

Have you seen the parish register entry for Thomas' marriage?  One of the witnesses is Sarah Timms.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Well I guess that is pretty decent evidence. Certainly more than I had before, thank you for that :)
