dap1956@eastlink.ca Debbie writes: "According to their marriage certificate, William was a widower at time of marriage and I presume he had children by his earlier marriage. I descend from William and Amelia's son, James Thomas, born 16 Mar 1849 in Bradford Leigh and died 1934 in Greenwich. William and Amelia's other known children: Edward William, born 1844 and Elizabeth born 1851. James Thomas or Thomas James (as he appears to be referred to) married twice: 1st marriage to Harriet "Annie" Thomas in 1875 at Poplar, Middlesex. 2nd marriage to Louisa Maud Twiddy in 1895 at Lewisham, Kent. Very much hoping to make contact with other family members!" |
