Hi all, Second message of the season :) According to the IGI, there was a William THOMAS christened in Lamphey on 29th July 1810, son of Samuel and Catherine, to be followed by several siblings over the next 18 years. This William THOMAS is probably the one I mentioned in the last post about apprenticeships. I also have a death certificate for a Samuel THOMAS, who died in Lamphey on 26th November 1845. He was a coachman and the death was reported by Thomas THOMAS of West Hill Gate. Does anyone know of these people? Any advice on how to check if these Samuels are the same person? Ta, Jo ===== Joanne Thomas journeymouse@yahoo.co.uk http://www.geocities.com/journeymouse/ ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
