Hi Ron
When the Welsh went to Cornwall or vice versa, they went across the
sea......as they face each other......there were lots of Cornish people who
came to Wales after the industrial revolution as there was lots of work
here.
Thomas I have always assumed to be of welsh origin, as it derived from the
first name which then became the surname....my mothers maiden name was
Thomas as was Richard's mother....but my Thomas's came from North Wales
......Richard's were from Neath....

Hi Anna,
Its funny but when I saw the name Thomas on your email, I thought it
was an unknown relative from my mothers side. Her maiden name was Thomas,
they came from Cornwall and I'm having a tough time finding their death
dates.The history of the family starts with " A family from Wales came to
Cornwall" but I can't find out anything about that either. We always
thought
Thomas was a Welsh name, But who knows. I'm going to Wales and Cornwall in
October so I hope I can find Something.
It was great talking with you. I hope you find your marriage
soon.
Best regards
Ron
