Have tried to find the marriage of Thomas Spickett and Blanch(e) but have not been successful yet.
I have the following information:
In 1841 Thomas Spickett is 15, unmarried and living in Llandough (which is near Cardiff), Glam.
In 1851 he is 28, born Cogan, Glam, married to Blanche age 32 born St Mellons, Mon. They are living in Cardiff. They have two children, Elizabeth age 5, born Jun Q 1846 Cardiff and Thomas age 2, born Mar Q 1849 Cardiff.
In 1861 Thomas is 38, born Cogan, Glam. Blanche is 42 born St Mellons, Mon. They are living in Cardiff.
In 1871 Thomas is 48, born Cogan, Glam. Blanche is 52 born St Mellons, Mon. They are living in Cardiff.
In 1881 Thomas is 58, born Cogan, Glam. Blanche is 62 born St Mellons, Mon. They are living in Cardiff.
In 1891 Blanche is 72, widow, born St Mellons, Mon. She is living in Cardiff.
Blanche died Dec Q 1900 in Cardiff aged 81.
Thomas died Dec Q 1881 in Cardiff aged 58.
In every census she is shown as Blanch or Blanche. Her age and place of birth are consistent. There is a baptism on the IGI for a Blanch John in St Mellons in 1919 but I have been unable to find her in the 1841 census. I searched the 1851 with surname John to see if I could prove she was not the Blanch who married Thomas, but did not find her. I have also not found a marriage for her.
I found a marriage for a Thomas Spickett in 1848 in Cardiff which looked hopeful, but elimination and searching of census showed this one married Elizabeth Jenkins who was a widow.
Can anyone find the marriage of Thomas and Blanch(e) and her maiden name? All suggestions welcomed.
