Thank you, Lizzie not so Busy. Jane is named in the 1871 Census as Hind, widow, and as the mother of the children but I do not know if she is any other sort of relative to Thomas.
Thank you, AVM228. The strong bells are correct.
Thank you, Darlingtonian. This is a possibility but were they married?!?!
Thanks, also, for looking through the records.
Thank you, GeoffE.
But I still need a marriage date. Pauline
