Can you explain this previous post from years ago? Are you having us search for something you already know, but didn't share with us? We all make some duplicates but you have a lot of previous threads for this very same family to which you could have added this request.

I know my GFx5 was a Thomas Ellis who married a Mary Parton in 1786 iirc, Wellington, on their marriage cert is is signed by John Ellis, father or brother I presume. Trouble is there are 2 likely candidates, one born 1766 to John and Sussanah the other born in 1764 to John and Jane. To make things worse they both have brothers called John! One married Mary the other it seems married a Priscilla Carman. I know the Cadmans were in the area too. Unless I can find either in a census\death cert I think I,m stuck!

I don't know they are the same family. I, m trying to find John born around 1758 according to the 1821 census. I don't know wether he was born in the area or wether he moved there. This is one possibility I, m trying to find out about.

John, crhistened 30 Dec 1760

This thread actually inquires about a Thomas...but I do see what you mean...You're wondering if he's the father of Thomas & John. (Making sure this is an actual search & not a one name study researched by others)

Wondered if anyone could shed any light on this family? Thomas Ellis married Martha in Loppington about 1762. Martha died in 1776 and is buried there but as far as I can see none of the 8 children were married there.

Best to use the search above & look for previous searches as there are 8 threads for a "Thomas Ellis" & several mentioning John as well. Very frustrating to repeat searches, so please take the time to link them and not start new searches on similar subjects..

To add a wrench into the works...(I see no Loppington marriage for Thomas & Martha)
Martha Boot or booth b.1731 m.1755 Acton, Cheshire, England
 Cheshire Marriage Licence Bonds And Allegations
-Charles Ellis or Elliss  Christening  10 March 1756  Acton (near Nantwich), Cheshire, Eng.
   Parents Martha, Thomas Ellis
Note that Acton to Loppington is about 40 miles....Loppington to Wellington about 35
