Well!
First of all, a huge thanks to Digas for all her help and additional info. It has been invaluable.

So, now we are left with a few gaps.

William Thomas of Coity had two sons; Evan and Owen.
Owen married Sarah Gentry (Ghentry) and had 5 children:
Martha Ann Rebecca (1/1/1847 - 13/8/1861)
Richard William (12/8/1851 - 13/8/1861)
Elizabeth Mary (21/1/1856 - ? )
Louisa Ann Maria (19/1/1860 - ? )
and my great-grandfather Albert James (6/11/1865 - 20/3/1931, m 4/8/1917)

I notice that the two elder children both died on the same day. Some sort of accident? Or contagious disease?
I can find no trace of what happened to the surviving sisters, and have precious little info about Albert prior to 1917.

Any help/info or ideas would be gratefully received 

Hello there!

I don't suppose you have a copy of Neil Walklate's article on William Thomas? I've got as far back as William's parents and 4 (?) siblings 

In terms of the line your following, I may be able to help a tiny bit:

Owen's son Robert Evan Thomas b1880 Mass. (tracked up until 1930)
 Florence R. Hurlburt b around Dec 1880 in Nova Scotia to George (b 1852)& Anna Hurlburt (b 1854)

 Gordon Evan Thomas b 13/3/1906 Los Angeles, California
d 15/9/1984 Natick, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA

m Marjorie Elizabeth Gower (date currently unconfirmed)
b 1907 in Leicester, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States
d 1990 in Holden, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States

They have a surviving son, grand-daughter, and great-grandson.
