Hello, Thomas Vize born about 1812, at the bottom of your tree, is my great great great grandfather. His children were all born in London but I could not find any evidence of his birth or parentage. I was therefore very excited when I found this wiki. However I am not sure that the Thomas and Sarah who married in 1804 are the parents of the Thomas who married Jane Moore, and I wonder if you could share any evidence for Thomas (1812) parentage?

My ggg grandfather was convicted of bigamy in 1833. He had married Jane Moore in 1832 and tried to emigrate to the US, having already married Sarah Ann Sherwood in 1830. At his trial his brother in law John Lawson said Thomas was the youngest of 10, his wife being the eldest, which would make it impossible for Thomas and Sarah from Aldbourne to be his parents if it is correct.

Other bits I found were a 'pauper widow' called Sarah Vize living in Ogbourne in 1841 and 1851, and also John Vize born 1799 who only has a mother noted - Sarah. I assume that Sarah had an illegitimate son before she married Thomas in 1804.

Best wishes, Christine Vize
