Hi---Still looking for a connection for Wm W. Thomas born 1857 in Bristol England. His marriage certificate in Lewistown IL, 1879, lists his parents as Amos Henry THOMAS Rachael Elizabeth PROSSER I do not have any siblings or other family for William. I do not know when he cane to the US, but he filed papers of intent to naturalize in 1888 and received his papers in 1895. According to an article I just read in Ancestry, if a child came to the US before the age of 21, it was not necessary to go through this process. If a child came with family, and the father naturalized, the wife and children were automatically citizens. This leads me to think it is possible that William did not come until shortly before his marriage. Or, his father never naturalized. The only other piece of information I have is that some in the family seem to recall that William had a sister named Hannah who married William's wifes brother--Bill Jones. I know this is little to go on, but can anyone recognize this man or point me in a direction???? Thanks for any help! Debbie abudebbie@aol.com
