Someting curious about that 1851 census is that Ruth is listed as daughter, widow, yet her surname is Mitchell. Was she perhaps a Mitchell who married a Mitchell?

MargaretM - I wonder if it's just that it was an automatic "Mitchell" given as she would have been Mitchell for longer than whatever her married name ?? and same name given for her son

EDIT - there again ????

Looking at Ruth's son's name, a possible marriage for Ruth

That's not what you asked Mark - just Thomas and it was Thomas 1781 you first enquired about.
