I am researching William Briscoe and have a family line from William b1795 in Ireland and Married to Johanna Aylward b c1803 in Ireland through to his son William b c1825 and who was a forest keeper at Sallow Vallets Lodge. My intest now is tracing William's 2 wives Sofia Mountjoy b c1825 and Mary Anne Thomas b 1821 and who was the sister of Sofia. Mary Ann married John Thomas b1847 and they married about1853 and I think he died about 1858.
Mary Ann had 2 daugthers. Elizabeth SM Thomas appears to have had 8 children in 10 years all? registered as Thomas including my grandfather Owen, but were all living with William at Sallow Vallets but appear on the 1901 census as Briscoe. Does anybody who the father was, the birth certificate for Owen has no father registered. Werethey adopteded by William when Elizabeth died
