Member Since: December 2012 Posts: 8 Send Message	I have only started really. I have requested to view some trees from others which might reveal more. I do not know how far I can realistically expect to go back. Thanks again.

	the first born of theirs I could find was born in 1800 so presuming Thomas was, say, 20, when he married that makes him born around 1780 - so I'd be looking around 1775 - 1780 for his birth, and around 1800 for his marriage
