	This is interesting....... Helah Thomas in the London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 Name:Helah Thomas Record Type:Baptism Baptism Date:26 Nov 1852 ....Born 7th November 1852 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 Record Type:Baptism Baptism Date:25 Apr 1851 ....Born 23rd Nov 1849 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...... James Thomas in the London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 Name:James Thomas Record Type:Baptism Baptism Date:7 Feb 1858 Born 18th Aug 1854 Father's name:Robert Thomas (Cabman) 9 Wellington Mews Mother's name:Ann Thomas Parish or Poor Law Union:Notting Hill St Peter Borough:Kensington and Chelsea Register Type:Bishop's Transcript On the same page is brother Joseph.....Born 5th Oct 1856 There is a marriage for James Thomas to Fanny Jane Wheller in 1874. A daughter born 1890.........
