Staffordshire completed Look up Requests / Emma Thomas
« on: Friday 10 January 20 22:01 GMT (UK)  »
My Grandmother was Sarah Kilner. Her parents were Richard Cullis and Emma Thomas. They were married in Dec 1880. Emma was 18. Her father was William Thomas, collier. I now believe her Mother was Lucy. They were originally from Bilston. But I believe they came from Montgomery.
Sarah married my Grandfather James Kilner in 1905.
Two members of the Kilner family, Peter and Samuel were killed in the Clifton Hall colliery explosion in 1885. My Father,Benjamin always said his Grandmother was Welsh. Slowly I am piecing things together.

I have only just discovered roots chat whilst looking up clifton hall colliery disaster, and realise your posting was a long time ago.
Two  of my relatives died, but  although there is not a William Thomas listed,there is a Thomas Williams,though I am sure you will have found this out by now.
However, William Thomas was the father of Emma Thomas,who was my grandmother's mother.
