Staffordshire / Re: Where will i find divorce records?
« on: Monday 10 August 09 23:43 BST (UK)  »
It's highly unlikely that Lucy would have got a divorce from her first husband.  In those days, a divorce was difficult & expensive to obtain, and was not really an option for ordinary people.  It's more likely that she either :

- married again without bothering to get a divorce (as already suggested). The very restrictive divorce laws meant that bigamy was more common than today!

- her first husband died before she married the second.  I was wondering what evidence you have that the first Mr Thomas was transported to Australia?  Transportation didn't officially end until 1868, but had been uncommon for some years before that.

My great-grandfather's sister Hannah Locker married a John Griffith Tooth b.1854.  They lived in Burton-on-Trent & had a son, Arthur. 

Maybe there is a connection with your branch of the Tooth family?

Completed Census Requests / Re: Who is this witness?

I think it's Edwin - try comparing letters in the word with others on the image that you are sure about.
 If you compare the second letter with the "d" a the end of the word "Established" they are very similar.  The writer only gives his d's short "stalks". 

Also he doesn't always put put a dot over his i's.
