Hi Any help would be appreciated. to find the following Edward Thomas, before 1861. Edward Thomas on a 1861Census was said to have been born about 1814 Almondsbury Gloucestershire, with wife Elizabeth Thomas, and family. However on the 1871 Edward Thomas said to have been born 1807 Amesbury Gloucestershire with wife Elizabeth Thomas and the same family as on the 1861 Census.
