I am seeking information on Thomas Spain (born Preston,Kent, England about 1790; son of Thomas Spain and Sarah Browning).He was a farrier by trade.Thomas Spain was twice married.In 1821 (London, England), he married Mary Theeuf (of Chislet, Kent, England; 1793-1825); they had three children: John Crane Spain (1822), Stephen (1823-1824), and Thomas Spain (1825-1825).In 1826 (London, England), Thomas Spain married Ruth Theeuf (younger sister of Mary; 1799-1841).They had at least three children: Mary Ann Spain (born about 1828; died 1897; she married Stephen William Saunders), James Milsted Spain (1831-1892; he married Ann Catherine Saunders), and Ruth Spain (1837?-1875; she did not marry).Thomas Spain died at Southwark (Blackfriars), Surrey, January 27, 1848, aged fifty-six years.Thomas Spain was my three times great grandmother.His son, James Milsted Spain (1831-1892) was my great great grandfather.I would be pleased to hear from anyone who might be connected with this English Spain family.Thank you in advance for any assistance.
