REYNOLDS& THOMAS FAMILIES from WALES Item number: 7006819546 A near 200 year old Large Leather Family Bible published in 1809 in Welsh with Births and Marriages belonging to the Reynolds & Thomas Families from Wales. The inscriptions read thus: William Thomas was born November 22nd 1829 And was married to Elizabeth Reynolds May 9 1856. William Reynolds (Thomas) was born on Tuesday February 2 1858. Elizabeth (Thomas) was born April 14th 1869. Sarah Jane (Thomas) was born June 21 1862. No place name is given but after research, I have found that this family in 1861 was living in Bronywood, Montgomeryshire, Wales. William Thomas senior, was born about 1830 in Whitch Pbel, Montgomeryshire and He was a blacksmith employing 2 men, Quite a well off family with three servants !!!
