Hi, i need some help trying to find who the 1st wife of RICHARD THICK (b c1806) was. I am fairley sure he had children called ISAAC b c1826, GEORGE b c1828 and PRISCILLA b c1830 with her. i think his 2nd wife was HARRIOT WHITE and they married in 1843.

Can you tell us where you have looked already so no one wastes time doing the same searching?

And of course the impotant question (as the instructions for posting say) -- where???

How have you connected the children to him?

I guess we can always search for the information people don't give, how much more convenient if they just give it .........

The possible second marriage

Marriages Dec 1843 (>99%)
BISHOP Mary Ann Bristol 11 233
Humphries William Bristol 11 233
Huxtable Jane Bristol 11 233
Lawrance John Bristol 11 233
Naish Daniel Bristol 11 233
Pearce Hester Bristol 11 233
Thick Richard Bristol 11 233 <
WHITE Harriet Bristol 11 233 <


so again presumably there is a reason to connect him with Harriet White ..........

1820 would seem a little early if he was born in 1806 but is that birthdate taken only from the 1841 census?

If so he could have been born as early as 1801.

You may want to try some of these sites yourself now John

I used freereg

http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl

I think alviegal probably used

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html

or a variation of that

chrissiex

chrissiex Report 5 Feb 2011 21:55

If you search at freereg for a baptism for Richard Thick 1810 +/- 10 years in Somerset you will find his baptism 1805 and it gives his parents' names as Richard and Grace

They seem a little old to have those children in the 1820s

but you can spend some time looking around there and see what you think
