Mmmmmmmm that death would be a bit tight given that the census was taken on 30 March 1851. However, we all know that people would quite often say they were married on censuses after the death of a spouse...probably just to make our lives more entertaining when searching for information!!!!

As Thomas was a mariner I guess he could have died at sea.

Hi Joy

Do you have a rough date of death for William Cole?

Katherine maybe the fact that Margaret Morgan was in the Rivers family house of the 1851 census. There could be a possibity that Tomas Morgan was deceased just a thought
