, d. Aft 1861 (Age ~ 58 years) Mother Elizabeth BAILEY, b. 1806, Kingsteignton, Devon, England
, d. Sep Q 1856, Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England
(Age 50 years) Marriage License 30 Sep 1830 - Licence for marriage in Kingsteignton
Married 9 Oct 1831 St. Michael’s Church, Kingsteignton, Devon, England
- Thomas seems to have been reluctant to marry Elizabeth. He was believed to be the father of her son Henry, yet he didn't marry her before or soon after the birth. In September 1830 he obtained a marriage licence, but in 1831 there was a complaint about his refusal to pay for Henry's mainteance, and it was not until October that year that they married.
Maybe he and Elizabeth had been courting but he did not believe Henry wast his son, hence the reluctance.
