Hi because of his age on his marriage certificate . 1816 is too young , camborne is in Redruth district . seems a big change from miner to farmer thats the confusion >>

must be a previous thread as i have looked at this before, ticks on fmp against the records

How do you know his mother's name was Ann?

There's this baptism in Redruth, as a possible alternative? Unfortunately there's no image to view, so I don't know his father's occupation.

Who did your Thomas marry?

This (below) is the only Thomas, son of a Richard and Ann , that I can find - born in Camborne, several miles from Redruth.
Is this your Thomas ?
But as you say, his father is listed as a miner. That's in the Devon & Cornwall Record Society's book of Camborne births, marriages, and burials, printed 1945.

Can't see any original baptism document. I suppose it's just possible it might be a mistranscription in the book ??

Or maybe Richard changed his occupation between 1818 and 1852.
