I have a Thomas Wales b 1786 who married Mary Edmonds born Marazion 1791, in St Hilary, Marazion 1810. Thomas died in Redruth in 1841. The Wales name is not common before this time but I believe that Thomas's father was also called Thomas and also from Marazion. The Wales family were masons. The Edmonds family name is quite common in Marazion at this time. Any leads would be welcome.
