Thomas who was born in Heath and Reach, Beds in 1821 married Sarah Hale on 15th November 1841 at Potsgrove. Thomas' father was William (from marriage certificate) - any more information on William and mother much appreciated Sarah was christened in Thorley Hertfordshire on 21 April 1822 to Samual Hale (b c1791 Thorley) and Sarah Haggar (b c1791 Thorley) who were married in Thorley in 1811. Anything about Samuel and Sarah's ancestry also much appreciated Any theories why Sarah moved 55km would be intriguing too! Rick Smith
