Oh, I think I saw the name "Gregory" on an 1841 census.

So maybe Henry was the result of Roberts first marriage?

Just off to find that 1841 census.........

This is interesting.......

Helah Thomas in the London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Father's name:Robert Thomas (Cab Driver) 38 Charles Street
Mother's name:Ann Thomas
Parish or Poor Law Union:St Marylebone Christ Church
Borough:Westminster
Register Type:Parish Registers

I am wondering if Ellen who appears age 8 on the 1861 census, is actually Helah!

I will see if I can find a baptism for Ellen.

Ah, here is Henry, Robert and Alfred's baptism.....They are all on the same page.

Robert Thomas in the London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906
Name:Robert Thomas

Father's name:Robert Thomas (Cab Driver) 12 Milners Mews
Mother's name:Ann Thomas
Parish or Poor Law Union:St Marylebone Christ Church
Borough:Westminster
Register Type:Parish Registers

Alfred born 19th Jan 1857

Henry born 17th Nov 1838....(Ties in with Henry's age of 12 on the 1851 census!)

12 Milners Mews was the address the family were living at in 1851.

It would seem that Henry named his daughter after his sister. "Elah"

Edit: I am not seeing a baptism for an Ellen Thomas.

Baptism for son James......

There is a marriage for James Thomas to Fanny Jane Wheller in 1874.

A daughter born 1890.........
