Possible marriage between a "Harbert Read" and "Mary Anna Thoms" in Newport in 1852. Can't currently find a parish register entry to confirm that these 2 married each other and not the other possible names on the civil registration index.

There's a Mary Ann Toms, daughter of Philip and Mary Ann, who is down on the 1851 census as being born in Ilfracombe, Devon in 1834. From at least 1841, the family is living in St Woollos, Newport. She also had a sister called Thirza.

Birth registration for the 1862 John has mother's maiden name blank:

REED, JOHN  HENRY     - 
GRO Reference: 1862  S Quarter in NEWPORT  Volume 11A  Page 166

Forgot John was born Swansea; jorose posted the correct one:

READ, JOHN  HENRY     TOMS 
GRO Reference: 1862  M Quarter in SWANSEA  Volume 11A  Page 502

John's sister Thirza has mother's maiden name 'Toms':

REED, THIRZA  JANE     TOMS 
GRO Reference: 1864  S Quarter in NEWPORT  Volume 11A  Page 168

Thirza's parents on her baptism are also Herbert & Mary Hannah of Dolphin Street.

On the 1881 census with her 2 children, Mary is 'Mary H.' and born in Newport.

It looks like James' mill burned down in 1759:

Laxfield: petition for charity from James Randall of Laxfield, whose
windmill had been destroyed by fire 1759

3. Any other children John and Catherine may have had

Likely siblings for Esther:

Mary Ellen in 1893:

William John (or John William) in 1894:

Seems like they moved from address to address.

Thank you, can I ask where you found that, it has evaded me.

Do you have Anc*? If so, here is the link:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/1558/images/31280_194657-00606

I can't find it on FamilySearch for some reason.

Assuming she was born c.1830, there is this possible:

Mary, daughter of Thomas & Sarah Waddington of Ogle Street, was born on 20th March 1830 and baptised on 11th April 1830 at St. Marylebone. Her father's occupation is given as "trade", which would apply to ropemaker.

Worth ruling out.
