  • Name George THOMAS 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Gender Male 
    Residence 1829  Plymouth, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Shown as 'of Plymouth' on marriage licence
    Occupation From 1829 to 1832 
    Mariner 
    • Recorded as such on his marriage licence and when his son George was baptised.
    Marriage 17 Dec 1837  St. Gregory the Great’s Church, Dawlish, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    Witness - marriage of sister in law Mary Ann GOTHAM 
    • I am assuming the George who witnessed the marriage was this one
      If so, where was he in 1841? - there is no sign of a death registration between 1837 and 1841 that could be his, but of course he could have died at sea. However, since he was a mariner I suspect he was at sea, alive, at the time of the census.
    Died Yes, date unknown

      The transcribed data show the marriage was recorded as that of Sarah Gothem to George Thomas
      "George Thomas of the Parish
      of Plymouth - Mariner
      and Sarah Gothen of this Parish
      Spinster
      were married in thie Church by Licence with Consent of
      Both of age this twenty third Day of
      August in the Year One thousand eight hundred and twenty nine
      By me Edmund Duncan Rhules - Curate
      This Marriage was solemnized between us George Thomas, Sarah Gothem
      In the Presence of Mary Heath, John Brien, G Daimond
      No. 264."

      Mary Heath was probably Sarah's mother, though could have been her sister, G Daimond was probably the Parish Clerk as he witnessed most marriages in West Teignmouth at this time, I don't know who John Brien was.

      The date seems to be before that of the marriage licence, which clearly it can't have been, but from its position in the register I think the date of the licence is wrong - see notes attached to that event.
    Marriage License 21 Sep 1829 
    • Shows that Geo. Thomas of Plymouth, mariner obtained a Licence for a marriage in the Church of W Teignmouth between him and Sarah Gothen, Spinster, making Oath that Sarah had her usual place of abode in the said Parish [West Teignmouth] for at least the past 15 days.
      Clearly the date of marriage licence or marriage as I show them here has to be wrong. I thought the marriage might be meant to be 23 Sept, but looking in the register there are several recorded after it later in August and in September before 23rd, so it would seem that is correct.
      The year on the marriage licence is not clear; there is a small circle with a blob of ink below, so it could be 1828 or 1829. While 1828 is a possibility, most did not leave it so long before marrying, so maybe the clerk who filled the form in entered the wrong month.
