Hello, I'm new to the list. I'm trying to find any information possible on my ggggrandfather Thomas Seaborne PAYNE. I have very little to go on so any help would be so greatly appreciated. He was a Silk hatter. He was born in 1844 or 1845. Family rumour claims he was born at sea on his way to England, however the 1881 census says he was born in Henbury, Gloucester, England. He married Eliza Jane DAVIES sometime between 1864-1869 at St. Andrews Church, Montpelier, Bristol, Gloucester, England. They had children: Thomas b 1869, Lillian b 1871, Violet b 1873, Frederick b 1875, Charles b 1878, Flora b 1880, Rosie Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Dianne Peacock, BC, Canada
