Lettice Thomas - birth record and anything else!

[Bilham]

Hi
I have a Lettice Thomas in my tree. I believe she was born in Pembrokeshire (Haverfordwest or Reach) around 1834 to 1837 (based on finding her in all the censuses from 1851 to 1901). However, I cannot find a birth record. I know from her marriage certificate (11 July 1857 to Philip Jenkins) that her father was Benjamin Thomas a haulier.
Any help on her birth record or other info would be very gratefully received.

Civil Registration was only introduced on 1.7.1837 so no birth certs until then only possible baptismal records.

Have you found her in 1841?

Is this her in 1851

Yes indeed, that is her. I have that record in my tree but I haven't been able to use it to probe further backwards.

[Bilham]

Thanks Carol, yet, I've got the marriage cert. This is the one that shows her father as Benjamin Thomas a haulier.

Sorry, Carol, I should have also mentioned that no sensible parish birth or banns records are appearing - with Benjamin Thomas as the father.

Re marriage - just confirming that the 1851 was her 

Helen Baker was formerly Jenkins

I wonder if she was illegitimate?
