The step-father of that Thomas Foulkes (B. 1843) in my family tree was George Meyrick/Merrick, not Richard. Richard was George and Mary’s first son (B. 1850).

Most of those people are in my public ancestry tree. Brewer Shannon. I have a lot more sources to add.

How are you related to these people?

I got that information from a descendant of Mary Foulkes (b 1824) and her son Thomas Foulkes (b 1843). He gave permission for me to post it. I am married to a descendant of Mary’s brother Thomas Foulkes (b 1830).

Mary Foulkes (born 4 Nov 1824), eldest child of Maurice/Morris and Joyce/Joice Hall Foulkes. Mary was a servant to Lord Forester of the Willey Estate and it was his lordship who fathered her first son Thomas, born in 1843. She married George Merrick/Meyrick in 1849. George was then a Public House landlord. George and Mary went on to have 6 children. Mary died 8 Mar 1891 (as Mary Meyrick) in Broseley.
Thomas worked for Lord Forester as a gamekeeper as did his son Thomas. Mary’s son Thomas married Mary Ann Garbett.

My husband is a great-great-grandson of Thomas Foulkes, son of Joice Hall and Morris Foulkes, baptized in Benthall, Shropshire, England 9 November 1830. Sister of Mary Foulkes Merrick.

We know Thomas and his wife and first two children immigrated to New York City in 1857 and 1858. My husband’s great-Grandfather George Thomas Foulkes was born in 1863. Thomas was naturalized in 1868. We know nothing more about Thomas. Family stories say he died young. We have searched but found nothing. Documents and family memories follow Thomas’ three children from young adulthood into the future. Their descendants live all over the United States.
