I have William Symonds b 1810 Ireland married to Sarah Taysom/e of Arlingham b 1807, Im led to believe that Williams' father was also called William but no record of Williams' birth or the name of his mother, though it could possibly be Sarah.

Finding it hard to research Williams birth so far as I have no access to the Irish records. I'm sure it's possible that William and Sarah were parents of William, my GGG Grandfather, although William also went on to marry a Sarah... is it too much of a coincidence?

As my GGG Grandfather William was grown up and married to Sarah by the time the first census was taken in 1841, I haven't found any way of confirming who his parent's actually were.

Cannot find any definite record of their marriage either, unless I have missed some info posted above!

If Thomas was a child of William and Sarah (poss my GGGG Grandparents) then this would make him Williams' brother, who was possibly born in England rather than Ireland, like
William. As Thomas' father William was a widow, it could be that he had come over to England and met Sarah.

Will have a think about all of this and try to piece it together!

Thanks slowhands, another avenue to explore.
