Catherine,
Delilah has stated that Elizabeth was born about 1843.
Aaron was married by the 1841 census, so why are you saying he is too young?

The Aaron Thomas in 1841 census can't be Elizabeth's father as he was born in 1821 so far too young to be father, but possible that he was a sibling?

What was Aaron (her father's) occupation, this should be noted on the marriage certificate? Also, who were the witnesses, they may be siblings?

Thanks for replies I had found 1851 census (as Mikes ) and used it to obtain Elizabeth`s marriage cert. I would now like to trace the rest of Thomas family.

I cannot trace them on 1841 census.

Same family?? Would mean Mike's 1851 posting is incorrect.
