Find Ancestors

My ggg grandfather Thomas Bryant was born in c1803 in Stoke Lane Somerset.He maried twice (I think) I have found him on the 1851 census married to Emily and I think he was also married to Amy Tomlinson. I do not know what Emilys Maiden name was or who was the mother on the children on the 1851 census. I am guessing it was Emily.

I have not managed to find any marraiges for Thomas.

If anyone out there can help with information I would be very grateful

Thanks Sandra

Perhaps one of the children's birth certificates will provide the answer. Looked for a Sydney Bryant born c1848 registered in Clutton, the registration district for where the family are living in 1851 and found this.

Year: 1848
Qtr: Apr-May-June
District: Clutton
Vol: 11

There are registrations matching the names of the 3 girls in the same district.

As Sarah & Mary are on the earlier census with Amy I would try ordering the birth cert of the youngest child on 1851.

Could this be Thomas & Sydney with yet another wife?

This seems to indicate that Emily may really be Amy

Sydney,Eliza,Elizabeth,Sarah,Henry.mothers maiden name was Emery.I agree with jim think they are one and the same.No marriage listed for them as it must have been before 1837

I think we need a second opinion on the mothers name on 1861 census...

Wendy, where did you get the name Emery from?

Sandra

www.bathbmd.org.uk

Me neither Lindylu

Thanks, for the web site Wendy, I have a big branch of my tree in Somerset, so it will be very useful and may help with other queeries. I have had a quick look and it looks really good - I wish had known about it a few weeks ago!!

Sandra did you get the info that he married amy tomlinson from phillip clements tree on rootsweb?if so don't take it as gospel as he has several people wrong.

It is brill,just wish both sides of my family came from somerset :)
