I'm seeking information on the parentage, birthplace of George Thomas b 1815/20. He mar in Sarnesfield parish, Herefordshire to Susanna Payne in 1847. Their first child, Emma, was b 1847 in Aston, Warwickshire in 1847. George & Susanna's marriage license indicates their parents as William Thomas, blacksmith and James Payne, Labourer. The Payne/Evans family was in Sarnesfield for several generations. But, even though George was residing in Almeley parish at the time of his marriage, there is no Thomas family there. George emigrated to America and Susanna & Emma followed, arriving in Philadelphia in 1850. The family was then in Newcastle, Lawrence Co., PA in the 1860 census. Other children were: James b 1852; William b 1854; Edwin b 1856; Salina b 1859 and Jenny b 1861. In the late 1860s the family migrated to Cole Co., MO where Emma mar Thomas Ambrose in 1869 and James mar 1st Nancy, then 2nd Nadine and moved to Pettis Co. The rest of the family then appears in Camden Co. where William mar Bessie Smith; Edwin mar Mary Matilda Parrish; Salina mar William Smith and Jenny mar Henry Wheeler(?)
