Since my previous message I have received some additional information that sounds at least promising in my search for Thomas Cole, son of Robert & Hannah. According to the IGI files for Bride Parish, Robert Cowle married Hannah Joughin on 5 Jun 1815. Among the children listed they had a son Thomas christened on 25 Dec 1829. They also had a son Daniel christened on 28 Jul 1833, the same month and year my Thomas had listed for his birth. Robert and Hannah were listed in the 1841 Bride Parish census .... Robert 45, Hannah 45, Charles 4, Christian 9, Daniel 7, James 13, John 20, Margaret 6, and Thomas 11. In the 1851 census, still in Bride, there was a listing for Hannah Cowell, 56, and her daughter Margaret 15. Do any of these names sound familiar??
