I have searched and searched but cannot find a maiden name for Esther,wife of George THOMAS(1810-1877).They married in 1832 at St Briavels and had 10 children.They lived at The Fence,St Briavels.
Any information will be much appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation.

If you use the Gloucestershire BMD Index
http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/
and look for Isaac THOMAS born 1851, - mother's maiden name was HULIN
other children listed:
Elizabeth ANN - 1843
Thomas - 1848
George - 1838
William - 1846
William - 1841
FOD Records, Esther HULIN, christened at St Briavels, 28 July 1811, parents James & Ann HULIN
Thank you so much for the information on Esther. I have been trying to get as much info.on both of my parent's families in time to show them at Christmas(they live abroad).I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
Thanks again for the help.

On FOD records: St Briavels
Thomas 1800
James 1802
Anne 106
Elizabeth 1809
Esther 1811
Would you be able to tell me the exact date of Esther and George's marriage? I presume it would have been at St Briavels.I am at the stage where I can't see for looking.
I appreciate the help.

This may be it - if you try to read/or say HULIN/WING ??? - sometimes this HULIN is spelt HULING
10 June 1833 at Mitcheldean
George THOMAS - Hundred of Saint Briavels
married
Hester WING - Hundred of Saint Briavels
mark of Henry BOSSOM and the marks of Johanna MATTHEWS, Servant to A McLaren
1841 Census, Mitchell Dean
High Crofs
High Street
Henry Bofsom - 63 Cordwainer
Susanna Bofsom - 65
If you look at the FOD records : there is a baptism of a Caroline HAINES McLAREN - 15 June 1834, at Mitchel Dean - parents John (Grocer) and Mary Anne
and FOD records? Johannah MATTHEWS, christened 27 May 1792, residence Clearwelll at Newland, parents James & Johannah
so they probably were working in Mitchell Dean

Thanks for all the info.I see what you been by WING/HULIN.I did spot the name Hester Wing but discounted it. I will look at her again as your info looks promising.
George Thomas is my 3rd great-grandfather on my mothers side so I am looking into the Thomas family history.Not an easy name to track. My maiden name is Thomas so I am counting them in my sleep.
Thanks again.

You can always put in a request to the FOD site - to check the Register - I have done this a couple of times and have had a very good quick response.
Under the heading 'Possible Transcription Errors'
with HULIN/HULING - an explanation might be there.....
I've been to the Records Office a few times - and these documents are very old, and sometimes on Parchment etc. and the Transcribers must have a very difficult job.
Thanks.I will do that.I can understand how transcription errors occur,looking at some of the records available.

I looked this marriage up when I was in Gloucester on Wednesday and the Bride`s name is ULING. As it is written it could easily be transcribed as WING.
As mentioned before, Gloucestershire/Wiltshire people never used to sound their H's: examples in this website

When we visited Awre - this is pronounced 'R' by the locals
Well we Londoners have always dropped our aitches.
That is how I ended up with a Strimmer instead of a (H)EDGE Trimmer!
