Cannot find the 1835 one in 1841 or 1851, possible family for the one I posted in 1851.

Hi Dave

This Thomas is transcribed as SLOW. When you look at the image and check other words with the letters "l" & "t" it could well be STOW.

There is a marriage Sept Qtr 1846 District Westbury
Thomas STOW & Hester LYE

1851 census - Pew Hill, Chippenham, Wiltshire
Transcibed as:-
Thomas SLOW head b. abt. 1825 age 26 Carpenter & Joiner Melksham, Wilts
HESTER SLOW wife b. abt. 1823 age 28 West Lavington, Wilts

Hoping someone can have a look at this census. Check out l in Rudler & t in Harriett Ritchens.

cheers

Hello crankypants,

Thanks for looking. It's very curious that there are two of them. That marriage confirms that the one in the census is the one born 1826 not the one born 1835. I mean the first one named Thomas had not died. The one who came to Australia via Ireland is the second one who married Emma SEWELL SMITH/SMYTH.

Regards,

Dave

Hello,

It's the 1835 one I'm interested in. I wonder if he moved to Suffolk very early in life? At least, he may have been in Suffolk one year before his marriage there.

Regards,

Dave
