    Thomas had three wives. The first two died. I do not know his second wife's maiden name or if they had any children. I have been unable to find any marriage record.

    Hi again Katy,

    Given the further information provided for you above in that Selina's father was Thomas SOAR, Lacemaker, there is a baptism on FreeREG at Nottingham St Mary on 22 July 1816 of a Selena SOAR daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth SOAR, Millstone Lane, Framework Knitter. This baptism is corroborated by the Notts FHS Baptismal Index - sorry my fault, I missed this the first time as I was searching for Selina and a reminder to myself that Selina can be spelled in different ways!

    Dear Janet,
    Thank you very much for that!! You obviously are quite skilled at finding the right info. I spend hours going down the wrong route!! They are definitely not Italian..? It's curious how these family myths are carried forward.....I expect there is a simple explanation.

    This is great!! That he was selling Artists materials as well (My Humphrys family were in this business) And that he was refurbishing pipes that were really the first 'throw away' consumable! Very imaginative/adventurous man!

    Thank you so much for this. So Selina died of Typus?? I thought that having four children in 5 years had 'finished her off' , is this info. on her death record? Then Thomas married Elizabeth 6 years later...She was 21 and he 31 and dead within 2 years we presume, as the first of Emma's children was born in 1854. If both previous wives were dead, why didn't he marry Emma?
    Do you know of any Italian connections in this family? Katy

    We've all been there and done that Katy! Early on in my research I spent quite a time following one line, thought I had all the children off pat of this particular ancestor and only when I purchased his will discovered that I had missed a generation in between. Both generations were a Thomas married to a Mary - very unadventurous in their naming of children - which caused the problem.

    Isn't it great for you to have all these different SIMNITT researchers following the same line and what a wealth of information you have now gleaned. Good luck with the rest of your research.

    Janet
