My ggg grandfather Thomas Bryant was born in c1803 in Stoke Lane Somerset.He maried twice (I think) I have found him on the 1851 census married to Emily and I think he was also married to Amy Tomlinson. I do not know what Emilys Maiden name was or who was the mother on the children on the 1851 census. I am guessing it was Emily.

I have not managed to find any marraiges for Thomas.

If anyone out there can help with information I would be very grateful

Thanks Sandra

Perhaps one of the children's birth certificates will provide the answer. Looked for a Sydney Bryant born c1848 registered in Clutton, the registration district for where the family are living in 1851 and found this.

Year: 1848
Qtr: Apr-May-June
District: Clutton
Vol: 11
Page: 206

There are registrations matching the names of the 3 girls in the same district.

As Sarah & Mary are on the earlier census with Amy I would try ordering the birth cert of the youngest child on 1851.

1871
Sydney Bryant Amey abt 1849 Litton, Somerset, England Son Midsomer Norton, Somerset
1851
Sydney Bryant Thomas,Emily abt 1848 Litton, Somerset, England Son Midsomer Norton, Somerset

This seems to indicate that Emily may really be Amy

Sydney,Eliza,Elizabeth,Sarah,Henry.mothers maiden name was Emery.I agree with jim think they are one and the same.No marriage listed for them as it must have been before 1837

I think we need a second opinion on the mothers name on 1861 census...
