	Shirley was trying to help you Suggest your best bet is to visit the records office and look for a baptism for Augustus

	This Thomas was born 1780ish and his son was born 1813 as in OP so the Thomas and Mary marriage is irrelevant unless that Thomas (1804) is the son of the Thomas I'm inquiring about.

	Absolutely not, Shirley All posts are addressed to the OP, unless otherwise indicated. Augustus had a son with second forename Newton, which may - or may not - reinforce the suggestion about his mother'sidentity

	Augustus Goring's obituary is on FMP - my sub doesn't stretch that far. It may mention a mother's name........................

	I think there is a later Thomas Ley Greaves. Maybe a son or nephew. Some ancestry trees seem to have confused the two, I suspect I may find the same on family search.
