Joanna, I have had a search around.  With the limited information you have, it's a bit hit and miss.  There is no evidence that Thomas Richard Miller is related to Thomas and Isabella Miller of Romford.  Your best bet is to order his marriage certificate.  I have found his marriage to Minnie Sophia TURNER, the Qtr Ended Mar 1902 in the District of Poplar - Vol 1c Page 732.  They appear to be living in Islington in the 1911 Census.  Thomas Richard Miller was born about 1877.  I no longer have a subscription to any site that will give me further information (such as the birthplace of Thomas), but that should give you enough to start your search.  To order their marriage certificate, you will need to go to www.gro.gov.uk  Hope this helps.

Hello

I was wondering if the Thomas Richard Miller I'm looking for is possibly the son of Thomas and Isabella?
Thomas Richard Miller married Minnie Sophia in West Ham I believe, and had a daughter Victoria Sophia Miller (born 1902 - died 1929), and possibly more. I don't yet know.
Does this sound like it could fit? I'm new to this!!!  :)

OldRowley - Just in case you want to add to your database:

Abraham Miller, of Romford, married Sarah Combers, of North Weald, at St Benet, Paul's Wharf, London on 11 May 1731.  Sarah was the daughter of James and Sarah Combers of South Weald.  She was born on 8 Sep 1711 and baptised at St Peter, South Weald on 18 Sep 1711.  She died in Romford and was buried at St Peter, South Weald on 13 Feb 1780.  They had three children that I know of:

Abraham Miller, baptised 10 Sep 1734 at St Edward the Confessor, Romford.  He was buried at St Peter, South Weald on 28 Apr 1761.  He does not appear to have married and left everything to his Mother in his Will.

Sarah Miller, baptised 28 Aug 1732 at St Edward the Confessor, Romford. Buried at St Peter, South Weald 4 Jan 1735.

Edwin Miller, baptised 27 Nov 1733 at St Edward the Confessor, Romford.  I haven't yet found out what happened to him, but he was not mentioned in his Mother's Will, so assume he had died by 1780.

I haven't been able to find a baptism for Abraham Miller, husband of Sarah.

Sarah's Will mentioned:

John Miller - Marshallman of Greyhound Alley, St Mary Axe
William Miller - Son of Sexton Miller
Ann Smith - Dau of Sexton Miller
John Paul - Nephew, and son of John Paul, Labourer
Mrs Mary Nelson
James Combers - Son of John Combers of South Weald
Elizabeth and Mary Bunting - Dau of Robert Bunting of Noak Hill (my ancestors)
Elizabeth Bunting - Wife of Robert Bunting (mother of above)
Richard Skare - Son of Richard Skare, Publican of Hare Street
Sarah Boone - Widow of Navestock
William Miller - Son of John Miller

Sexton Miller married Mary Jeneaway at St Clement Danes on 12 Mar 1726.

Abraham Miller (Snr) seems to be the son of Robert Miller, as I am assuming Sexton was his brother and Sexton's apprenticeship papers mention that his father was Robert Miller of Romford.

James Combers, Father of Sarah, was buried at St Peter, South Weald on 2 Oct 1736.  He died on 26 Sep 1736 and was born about 1666.

That's about as far as I've got with this family.  I am interested in them because Sarah Miller left property to my ancestor, Elizabeth Bunting (dau of Robert Bunting and Elizabeth Beard) and I know of no relationship between the Millers, Combers, Bunting or Beard, except that Abraham Miller was a witness at the marriage of Robert Bunting and Elizabeth Beard.

I am also researching the Miller family of Romford.  In particular Abraham Miller and Sarah Combers.  I have a subscription to Essex Ancestors and have looked through the records of St Edward the Confessor.  I can't find a marriage for Isabella and Thomas (I have double checked the above date, and checked surrounding years), but I have found one baptism -

27 July 1828 Thomas William, son of Thomas and Isabella Miller, Labourer.

I have checked to 1846 and there are no other baptisms for this couple in St Edward the Confessor's registers.

As far as I can tell, there is no relationship between your Thomas and Isabella Miller and Abraham and Sarah Miller, but I can't find a baptism for Abraham either, so I can't rule it out.  There is definitely no direct relationship.
