In Wales Thomas is a common name so you are going to have to get a load of certs to prove your tree.

From the birth registry Mother's maiden name was Laugharne. (You need a birth cert)

If the marriage I found is correct then she would be Sarah E Laugharne. (wait for the birth cert before sending for this, I might be wrong)

There are 2 possible Sarah E Laugharne's Sarah Ellen 1894 & Sarah Esther 1887. I have a gut instinct on which it is but would hate to lead you down the garden path.
