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

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.

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.
