Sorry TJ I thought I had responded to this. I did some checking of the Australian passenger lists and was unable to come up with anything that looked promising. I also checked Ancestry and their collections of Emigration/Immigration recors but still nothing that looked like it might be of help. We must remember that a lot of records have still not been indexed or otherwise transcribed so we may still find him. Another search is warranted so I will have another look around and see if there may have been someting I missed. CT

TJ - I have just had another check of the Victorian Unassisted Passenger records and there is not one T, Thos, Thomas who is closer than about 5 years in age to your Thomas. As I recall he was still in Cornwall at the 1871 Census and then he married in Victoria in 1881 so I restricted my search to that decade. The nearest in age arriving in Sydney was born about 1839 but he arrived with his family. (Assisted passengers only) It appears other searches of NSW records currently require a search of each passenger list, ship by ship but I am not sure that this covers the Unassisted passages. South Australian records are a long way from completion with the 1850s about the latest available. And from what I can find Western Australian lists are currently only indexed from about 1921. Unless I can come up with another brilliant idea this seems to be the limit of what I can do for the moment. CT

I think it is more likely that he is currently lost amongst the piles of lists that have not yet been processed. I have the same problem with some of mine so I know it can be frustrating. We will gradually find out as much as we can about Thomas and his family. CT

TJ - another of those problems that will not be easy to solve.
Little remains of the registers for Zennor for that time so we would need to search elsewhere for the answer.
Of the Thomas families of Zennor that I have dealt with there has been no mention of Maddern so I do not know just where he belongs.
His name has certainly not appeared in any of the Thomas Wills that I have seen either.
I notice that Maddern Thomas does not appear in the Hearth Tax list for Zennor in 1661 and 1664.

TJ - I have not seen the Subsidies for Zennor so cannot comment on that and I have not yet seen any Wills/Probate where he is mentioned.
That does not mean that he is not there!
But I am aware that he was named as father of Margaret when she married Richard Berriman.
So far I am not able to find any other references to him but will keep an eye out as I work through the various Parish records.

Hi I have a Hannibal Thomas the son ot John Thomas and Mary Thomas born 29 sept 1771 in Zennor, John Thomas was the son of Hannibal Thomas and Charity Stephens born 27 Mar 1737 Zennor, Hannibal Thomas was the son of Nicholas Thomas and Rebecca Eddy born 1705 Gulval, Nicholas Thomas was born 1675 Zennor, who was his parents?

TJ - at this point I am far from convinced that Hannibal was the son of Nicholas and Rebecca. Sure the IGI states that he was but there is no solid evidence of it unless he has been mentioned in a Will that I have not seen. Hannibal and Charity did not use the names Nicholas or Rebecca among their children and that is a concern. It was certainly not mandatory for children to be named after grandparents but it was very often the case in West Cornwall so I find this unusual. Nicholas and Rebecca certainly had a son named Hannibal and he was named in the Will of Matthew Thomas in 1704 which means that young Hannibal was born sometime before then. But to answer your question regarding Nicholas Thomas! To my knowledge his parents were Thomas and Jane Thomas (marriage not found) who would probably have been married sometime before about 1663. Thomas was the son of George Thomas and Cheston Davy. CT

Hi can some one put me back on the right track, I seem to have lots of Thomas connection but can not find how they connect to one another, First I have Thomas Thomas 1815-1905 married to Zenobia Berryman 1814-1892, then William Thomas 1779-1841 and Catherine Stevens 1776-? and then have Thomas Thomas 1759-? and Elizabeth Quick 1759-? then I seem to can not go any further, Are all the rest of these other Thomas , such as George Thomas and Cheston Davy , Hannibal Thomas, John Thomas and other connected to my lot of Thomas, as I seem to be running up brick walls trying to get them connected, I wait with someone that has more brains than me to put this puzzle together.
