There is a possible death for the George Thomas (Head of household) in Gritty's 1871 census, so a good possibility.

Deaths Dec 1873 (>99%)
Thomas George 41 Swansea 11a 435

Could be. The wedding was in October 1883 and it says that George's father was deceased . I will try to check a deaths record between the census and the wedding .

Hi I am trying to trace George Thomas (born 1853) back further. This is the census form 1891 .

. George Thomas Head Married Male 38 1853 General Labourer Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales


Margaret Thomas Wife Married Female 29 1862 - Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales


William Thomas Son - Male 10 1881 Scholar Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales


Margaret Thomas Daughter - Female 7 1884 Scholar Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales


George Thomas Son - Male 4 1887 Scholar Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales


Charles Thomas Son - Male 2 1889 Scholar Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales


James Floyd Boarder Single Male 40 1851 Mason Frome, Somerset, England

I cannot find him in 1881. I have his wedding certificate from 1883 which gives his fathers name as George Thomas (deceased)

I have a census record from 1871 with Jane Thomas widow and two sons George and Alfred
lodging in Back street Swansea , which is possible ,and a record for a Jane Thomas with her sister in 1881 but no trace of George.
