Thomas Isaac,
born
27th May 1864, Brynamman, Carmarthenshire and died 16th
December 1922, Monte Video Cottage, Chickerell, Weymouth, Dorset. He married
Sarah Anne Porter 4th November 1886, Parish
Church, Chickerell, Weymouth. She was born 12th April
1864, Putton Chickerell, Weymouth, Dorset and died 24th
September 1944, 14 Australia Road, Chickerell.
Thomas is buried in Chickerell
Parish Churchyard.
On the marriage
certificate, Thomas' father
is given as David Isaac and under his occupation it just
states, 'colliery'. I have tried to find the birth
record for Thomas but to no avail. The information about
his date and place of birth is from his gravestone but
something must be incorrect. I have also tried following
the whereabouts of Nelson Richardson to see if Thomas
was employed by him before they were at Chickerell.
However, it would seem that The Richardson's moved to
Montevideo about 1884 so Thomas slipped through the
census net. I have also, unsuccessfully tried the
censuses for
a male Isaac born in Brynamman. This is now a brick
wall. The only clue might be that Nelson Richardson's
parents were in Swansea and a couple of family entries
further on in the census, there is actually a family
called Isaac.
He was at Montevideo, Chickerell, Weymouth in both 1891 and 1901 where
he was working for a Nelson Moore Richardson, a retired
Barrister for whom he worked for 26 years as a groom and
gardener and coachman.
Nelson Moore
Richardson was a witness to
Thomas and Sarah's marriage; as well as Eliza Taylor and Robert Goding,
who was a brick maker on the 1881 census as was probably
working with Sarah's father.
