Hi Patsy, many thanks for your reply, much appreciated Ann Hmmm. Interesting indeed. The rest of the children of that Elizabeth in 1871 are spread far and wide in 1881. Two sons are with an unmarried uncle in Fifehead - Richard SANDFORD a farmer. A daughter, Mary A E is in West Pennard, boarding with a schoolmistress. Like John, I don't see this Thomas anywhere in earlier censuses. And no sign of the older children after 1881 either. I think you would need some birth certificates of the later children to sort this lot out.
