Hi, assuming Henry`s child born in NY in 1837 was his child and he did not marry the mother thus becoming the step father of this child, is there a marriage cert in NY and if so what does it show ? life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah O'Brien" <deborahobrien166@btinternet.com> To: "'Joy Langdon'" <joy.langdon@btopenworld.com>; <devon@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2014 12:01 PM Subject: Re: [DEV] Henry Thomas I'm the OPC for Roborough and I have already tried to trace this Henry Thomas further - I don't have burials pre 1813 unfortunately, and I can see no evidence of Henry THOMAS marrying or in later censuses. However, this is certainly not proof that this is the Henry that moved to the USA. William & Agnes did have 3 more children baptised after 1812 - 12 Feb 1815 Mary 13 Sep 1818 James 18 Feb 1821 Ann William & Agnes were still alive in 1841: THOMAS, William M 60 1781 Devon THOMAS, Agness F 65 1776 Devon JOSLIN, John M 60 1781 Devon Piece: 221 Book/Folio: 9 Page: 13 Address: Wood Cottages, Great, Roborough Regards, Deborah O'Brien Devon OPC Co-ordinator DFHS Member 11261 http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/OPCproject.html Online Parish Clerk for Meavy, Newton Ferrers, Roborough by Torrington, Sheepstor, Walkhampton http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dob7/index.html Researching SQUANCE, LILLICRAP, SURTEES, DANKESTER & YATES -----Original Message----- From: devon-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:devon-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Joy Langdon Sent: 25 January 2014 10:43 To: devon@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DEV] Henry Thomas Unfortunately, if your ancestor left Devon before 1841 there will be no census to check so trying to identify him is going to be very difficult. Not every Devon parish has transcriptions online so there may be several candidates that remain hidden to view. You can try finding supporting evidence that the one in Roborough by Torrington is the right one. There is an OPC (Online Parish Clerk) for Roborough - ask them to check for a burial to ensure that this Henry's absence from later English censuses is not due to death rather than emigration. http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Roborough/#Genealogy What happened to the other children of William and Agnes? If they don't appear in the burial records and aren't in later English censuses, are there any people of the same names and ages, born England, living in Genesee county? Are there any visitors with your family in the censuses or names of marriage witnesses who might be family? Did Henry name any of his children William or Agnes - families often named the eldest son and daughter after their paternal grandparents Regards, Joy ________________________________ From: Ronald E.

He had to marry and his first child was born in New York in Jan 1837. Henry and his wife Catherine(born in NY) lived the rest of there life in Genesee county, New York. I can easily find the family in the US census and the NEw York census. From the 1850 census, Genesee county seemed to have a number of people born in England.
