Hi Zella

I am a GG granddaughter of Edward Thomas 1804. His daughter Elizabeth Howell Thomas married my G Grandfather Edmund Jones in Nelson NZ. I have been fascinated by the Rev Thomas and trying to find out more about his time in England before immigration to New Zealand. I have quite a bit of information about his time in NZ and the family that followed him. It looks like William Howell Thomas 1833 was the only one of his children not to immigrate.
I see it is quite a while since you posted this so you may have already found out quite a bit of info but I am really pleased to find your post as had been wondering what happened to William and if he had descendants still in England

Regards
Adrianne Watson

Hello Adrianne - as you noticed it's years since Zella posted this.

You could click on her name and try to make contact her by direct message as she's probably not checking for replies on the thread.

Adrianne -
Welcome to the boards.

You will have more chance of a reply if you send Zella a personal message (click on her name at the top of her post).
If she is still registered with Genes, your message will be sent to her email address.
She is unlikely to be looking here on the board after such a long time.

Good luck!
