Mary Thomas maiden name Holman

Mary Thomas was the second  wife of George Heath Vlieland.
Mary Vlieland nee Thomas nee Holman:
fortunately Mary is with her daughter Mary Julia (her executor) and her grandson (who is with her when she dies) in later censuses (variously shown as Wheland and Flieland) and the baptism for her daughter gives us the address they were at and allows us to confirm her siblings by her first marriage - whose baptism shows the same address and allows us to trace them in the earlier censuses.



 One of them, the first born son is given his fathers first name and Mary's maiden name as his second name and so we can trace Mary's first marriage:
1834? birth of first child Ellen

Marriage reg: Edward Thomas=Mary Holman Q4 1838 St Luke London Volume Number: 2 Page Number: 266

NOTE: since the couple already had four children, it is not surprising that they were neither married in the church where their children were baptised nor by banns)
