Married Ruth MARSHALL [baptised English Bicknor 1804] at Bedminster [Bristol] in 1832.
Father of George who appears in Coleford Baptist register of births 1833.
Father of William born 1835 but not baptised until 1842 at English Bicknor.
Father of Hannah born 1837 probably at Dixton, but again not baptised until 1842 at English Bicknor when Thomas is described as a Wharfinger of Coldwell.
In 1841 census Ruth, George, William and Hannah were living with her mother, Winifred MARSHALL, and with Hannah CLARK, possibly Ruth's sister, at Coldwell.
In 1851 census Ruth, George and Hannah were still living with Winifred at Coldwell and Ruth is a widow.
I have been unable to find Thomas in the 1841 census.
Nor have I been able to find his burial 1837 to 1851.
Can anyone suggest what might have happened to him?
Also does anyone know of his baptism?
