Looking for information on Thomas Herron born 1825 at Thorpe, Durham and who married Elizabeth Jane Todd born about 1829 also in Thorpe (daughter of Elizabeth Jane Todd born 1787 in Wolviston, Durham). Thomas died aged 73 in 1898 and his death was registered in Lanchester. The family story is that Thomas was training to be a priest but then fell in love with a farmer's daughter and was cut off by his well-to-do family. Can't however, find either Thomas or his wife in the 1841 census nor Thomas's forbears (reported to have originated from Ireland), nor anything yet to support the family fable. Also, no information yet about Elizabeth Jane Todd's father (wife of Elizabeth Jane senior). Anyone have any information?
Thanks
