Who are Sarah Callear & son Thomas Callear (as featured in the 1841+1851 census)

Because…..no obvious baptism for Gabriel senior?
Do you think he is the one buried 1823 age 50?
Which of the Thomas births is yours  (senior Thomas, the husband of Elizabeth Speed?)

I am descended from Robert; brother of Thomas b.1769 (who married Elizabth Speed and had a son Thomas b/d 1802)

I have only researched as far back at Thomas and Robert's parents (William & Phillis). To connect Gabriel (and the other Thomas), it seems I would need to go back further - the connection could be just a generation away.....

I revisited my maths and I'm now doubting the connection of Thomas & Elizabeth to my tree. In 1821, both Thomas & Elizabeth are aged 57 (year of birth = ~1764).

According to a copy taken from some old microfiche records, the Thomas that is on my tree was christened Oct 15 1769 in Wellington.

The microfiche simply reads: Callier, William - William Callier/Phillis - M - C - 13Oct1769 - Wellington

I don’t think 5 years is enough to worry about.
There are lots of mentions of Rootschat about age discrepancies due to the fact needing to know your exact date of birth is a very modern thing.  People just guessed. Especially those who were illiterate.
