Here's hoping some supersleuth might be able to find Thomas Gaze,with (I hope) wife Ann, in any census!
The only information I have is that Ann, the daughter of Charles and Dorothy SMALL, married Thomas GAZE , son of Thomas, a farmer, on 7th November 1838 at St Hilda's South Shields. Ann was born in Chatham, Kent in 1819.
According to the website I use for the census, there is no one with the the name GAZE, in Co Durham at all, yet on freebmd there are children born with the surname.
Wishing you more luck than I've had!
