Thomas Parker married Susannah Elton in 1853, she the daughter of Samuel and Hester Elton and was born in 1833.

Name: PARKER, Thomas
Name: ELTON, Susanna
Registration District: Help Westbury
GRO Ref: 1853 Q1 volume 6A p 333

Susanna's older sister Naomi Elton b 1831 married Jonah Parker

Name: Parker Jonah
Name:Elton Naomi
Westbury on Severn 1852 6a 393

Jonah was the son on John and Mary Parker and had the following siblings as indicated by Drybrook baptism records
1825 PARKER Leah of John Mary Drybrook
1828 PARKER Mercy John Mary Drybrook
1830 PARKER Jonah John Mary Drybrook Mo
1833 PARKER Tabitha John Mary Drybrook
1834 PARKER Piety John Mary Drybrook
1837 PARKER Joseph John Mary Drybrook

My question is how is Thomas related to the above family. On the 1841 he is not listed with the family, rather he is lodging at Herbert's Walk. Coupled with lack of baptism for Thomas in 1831, could he be a cousin?

1841 census - household transcription
Address: Harry Hill, Dean Forest, Herbert's Walk

Following Jonah's untimely death Naomi wed Richard Malsom in 1855. Jonah and Naomi had one daughter Leah (later married John Jordan).

Thomas and Susannah had three sons; Alfred Jonah b1854 (married Hannah Parsons), Tom PARKER 1858-1934 married Emily HARRIS 1857-1937 and William Sidney PARKER b~ 1860 married 1885 Constance Mabel GRIFFITHS.

Thomas died in 1860 whereafter Susannah remarried William MEEK.

There have been a number of recent postings regarding offspring of these Thomas and Susannah, plus see my previous post a few years ago: http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=4120

Does anyone have the marriage certificate for Thomas and Susannah?

Many thanks
