	So am I Maureen! My husband has just put a lamb joint in the oven and the smell is heavenly! Clive, Please get one of those birth certs and come back and tell us if we have found the right marriage. If it is the correct family, I wonder why Thomas changed his name when he moved to London?

	Just looked at Bufflers Holt on Google maps and there is a pub there called the Robin Hood - I used to live a few miles away on the same road and the Robin Hood was one of the pubs we used to go to for lunch. Small world!

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Maureen - that's obviously the same Thomas as in the 1911 I posted above - why on earth is he changing his birthplace? Buffler's Holt (per 1911) is about 6 miles from Silverstone.

	Clive, where did you get the info about the daugter, Mary Ann b 1859? She isn't on any of the censuses posted for the Forsdicks? and her birth seems to have been registered as VArney: Births Sep 1859 (>99%) Varney Mary Ann Towcester 3b 16

	In view of the Dawkins/Varney marriage, could this be Thomas in 1851: 1851 England Census about Thomas Varney Name: Thomas Varney Age: 17 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1834 Relation: Grandson Father's Name: James Varney Mother's Name: Sarah Varney Gender: M (Male) Where born: Stowe, Buckinghamshire, England Civil parish: Stowe County/Island: Buckinghamshire Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Buckingham Sub-registration district: Leckhampstead ED, institution, or vessel: 11 and 12 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 37 Piece: 1724 Folio: 120 Page Number: 10 Household Members: Name Age Edward Varney 82 James Varney 48 son, Carpenter (wasn't Thomas a carpenter?)

	I wonder why we cannot find Thomas before 1871? Forsdick does not seem to be a Buckinghamshire name. None at all in Bucks in 1841
