There is a possible death for first wife in 1861 census if it is them.

Very well done Cas👏👏

Thanks Carole.  Info needs confirming, not sure if Roy wants to persue that through certs.

Sorry, only just come back to this. Lots of very useful leads, more than enough to be going on with at the moment. It would be nice to know who William Thomases second wife was and who their children were but I am thinking we have too little information to work this out?

Thanks again

It looks like one of his children was grandson in 1901

I have found an interesting article on William Thomases “accidental death”

Looks like she may have died through childbirth, census was taken  1 April 1901. David John was less than a week old.
