Thhanks, on the 1861 Census in Llanelly where they had moved, Thomas t
Thomas the father is listed as a coalminer. Hw was originally from
Llangunnor and Rachel from Llanathne. The reason I thought she was
nee Evans is that I think I find her back with her family in
Llanarthne after her husband Thomas died by the 1871 Census this
has always been a bit of a mystery. According to the family Bible
William Thomas was born 22 Jun 1852. But on a carved cane he made as
a Blacksmith, he lists his birth in 1853. Also when he married his
wife Sarah Philips in Adulam Chapel he must have lied about his age as
he was married 12 NOv 1871. He says he's 21 and Blacksmith of
Swansea Road. Father is Thomas Thomas, Coalminer deaceased. Also the
witnesses were Sarah Evans and John Phillips father of the bride.
Thenks for you help. Susan

time lately.....

Llanarthney parish church
1853 27 July
William Thomas, parents Thomas and Rachel
There is a marriage in Llanarthney parish church
1852 30 August
Thomas Thomas and Rachel James
the surname here is James, so perhaps there were 2 of
them......check with
Carmarthen archives for them to look at the parish
registers ......do you
know the occupation of Thomas Thomas, if so they will verify if it
is the
correct one........you can purchase the actual entry from the parish
register if these are yours.......
