Hello listers,
I have received the marriage certificate copy for the marriage of Thomas
Thomas and Margaret Davies:
Married at the Parish Church, Parish of Llanddausant, County of Carmarthen
October 6th 1848
Thomas Thomas, Bachelor, Labourer, Vottage by Aberllechach, Father: DAVID
DAVIES, Laborer
To
Margaret Davies, Spinster, Gellygynon-ucha, Father: Rees Davies, Farmer
The confusing part to me is Thomas' father David Davies. I knew Thomas'
father was probably named DAVID as that is the name he gave to his first
son, David Thomas. How would Thomas' name be Thomas Thomas if his father is
David Davies?
In the 1841 census, I found a David Davies(40)and his wife Elizabeth (40)
living at Aberllechach in Llanddausant. No children are living with them.
The only Thomas Thomas of the right age (15, so age15-19 b c 1822-1826) in
Llanddausant is living with the William Harries household at Llwyn-y-piod.
I did find a marriage on the Carmarthenshire FHS CD:
David Davies m Elizabeth THOMAS, 7 January 1822, Llanddeusant
Is it possible Thomas Thomas could have taken his mother's surname?
Can anyone offer any help with this puzzle?
Thanks, Patricia
