The Thomas family
| The earliest records we have for Dick's family are the marriage of William Thomas and Elizabeth Townshend (Dick's 3 x great grandparents) in 1786. They lived in Halifax where William was a joiner.
Who was
William ? William and Elizabeth had at least 11 children many of whom we have traced at least as far as knowing spouses and children. Thomas Townsend Thomas (TTT), their fourth child, was Dick's 2 x great grandfather. He was a woolstapler and plied his trade mainly from premises he rented in Woolshops in Halifax. TTT kept diaries mainly relating to his business activities but also providing some insight into family life. The diaries still exist for the years 1835 - 1842. John Holt Thomas (Dick's grandfather) moved from Halifax around 1900, first to Birmingham and latterly to Ipswich. |
