Hello everyone, I wonder if anybody with access to the 1841 census for the IOW could look up James and Sarah THOMAS for me? They were last heard of in Atherfield/St Lawrence in 1834, with (at least) daughters Henrietta (b1832) and Isabella Jesse (b1834). James was described as 'Chief boatman Preventive Station Atherfield' on Henrietta's birth in 1832, and 'Coast Guards Man, of St Lawrence' on Isabella's birth in 1834. As far as I know, James and Sarah were in Swansea until at least 1822 (judging by the births of their older children), but I have no idea (and would love to know) whether they were still on the IOW in 1841. There is another, younger James THOMAS, who is not (as far as I know) any relation, who was also a coastguard - he was married to Faith and based at Freshwater/Niton. My James THOMAS, though, is proving trickier to find, so any help would be *very* gratefully received! Thank you in advance, Kirsty
