	William for future reference ............... please do NOT use the "tick as answered" tab. All it does is show that the question in the Opening Post has been completely answered, and there is no need for anyone else to look at the thread this is very obviously NOT the case here Unfortunately, a quirk in the system means that once "ticked" it cannot be "unticked

Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 3 Send Message	Thank you every one for your help another family member has suggested that there was some possibility she was born to her older sister but brought up by grandparents as theirs on he parish church marriage certificate fathers surname is clearly written as Limmes the only Limmes I can find seemed to also go by the name Timmis and seems to move around Middlesex , Staffordshire ,Norfolk , Chester, and his wife was born in Hereford at 33 he is listed as retired Metal Dealer its possible he was there as there were quite a lot lead mines around mid wales, both names seem quite uncommon I find it amazing how much people moved around I have family members who travelled between North Devon and London, Derbyshire , Mid Wales and London

	I would say that the residence is the same as that on the 1881 census as posted above. John Thomas of Lluestgerig was a farmer. I wonder if there are transcriptions available of the marriages of any of Hannah's siblings to compare the father's name.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12 338 Send Message	Looking at the image, her name is Thomas but her father is John Limms or Linus or something like that. He was a farmer and Hannah's residence was Lluestcerrig??? Farm. Samuel and Martha Thomas were witnesses.

	She was clearly born a 'Thomas' - whether or not John and Ann(e) were her parents or her grandparents, a copy of her birth cert should confirm: Hannah Thomas England and Wales, Birth Registration Index Name: Hannah Thomas Event Type: Birth Registration Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar Registration Year: 1871 Registration District: Newtown County: Montgomeryshire Event Place: Newtown, Montgomeryshire, Wales Volume: 11B Page: 216 Line Number: 95 I too think that Limmes must be a mistranscription.
