I have nothing on Thomas apart from his marriage to Mary Artiss which was in Lakenham, Norfolk in 1821. Gail

1851 has Thomas' occupation as retired wool carder. 1861 looks like shoemaker. None of which confirms that this is the right father really.

According to the marriage certificate Thomas was a clothier. Cheers Gail

Gail I was working with info from oneworldtree and the info found by Georgina re the baptisms for Edward's siblings. As always, info should be verified. Christine

Ladies I am getting confused but it does not take much. How do we know that we have got the right Thomas Ellis in the 1851 census. Gail
