General Notes
- Thomas was born 25 Feb 1802, but not baptised until 1805, the same day as his sister Hester.
  
  1822, Thomas Eddowes married Martha Jones at Gresford. They had their family at Gresford before Martha died in 1843, aged 43.
  
  29 Dec 1843, Thomas "Eadows" (widowed), son of John married Elizabeth Weaver (widowed), daughter of Richard Jones at St. Mary on the Hill, Chester, Cheshire.
  
  In 1851, Thomas Eddowes and Elizabeth (50 & 65) were at Pike Green, Gresford farming 23 acres. They had Elizabeth (15), and sons Charles (12) and Henry (10). Presumably these three children are not Elizabeth's and she is too old. Also 10 lodgers including Edward Thomas (50, Wid, Wheelwright) and his two daughters.
  
  John is a likely younger brother of Thomas and Hester, also children of (another) John and Elizabeth (a theory based mainly on John and Mary having a daughters Elizabeth and Esther and son John).
  
  The family moved to Tranmere, Birkenhead probably after Thomas died, although there is (another) older Thomas Stanton Eddowes from Wrexham there in 1861, 1871 and 1881. That Thomas (an anchor and chain maker) was in Little Meolse in 1851.
