If you use the website

http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/

and look for a birth of a child : surname: THOMAS, mother's maiden name LLOYD

you will find Edward THOMAS - 1839 - Forest of Dean, Westbury on Severn - Newnham (J/F/M Qtr 1839 WOS- FreeBDM)

As there was an Edward THOMAS c1838 in Newent, parents Henry & Elizabeth, the census returns will need some work! - I think this Edward THOMAS went 'North' looking at the census'

For Starters

On the 1881 census, for Middx. Chiswick we have

7 Avenue Terrace

Edward THOMAS - age 42, Stoker Oil Mills - born Glos. Newnham
Jane THOMAS - age 44 - born Surrey, Trentham or Trensham

(there is a Jane THOMAS on the 1901 census, Surrey, Leatherhead, age 67 Widow - born Trensham, Surrey)

---

1851 Census, Staffordshire, Wednesbury

(think this could be Edward THOMAS, from a wealthy family - born Newnham)
