This Thomas Westwood marries an Elizabeth Unknown
https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/brows ... =727239730
On Ancestry numerous trees have this Thomas Westwood who married an Elizabeth Sheriff as same Thomas Westwood as above after marriage

Re: Thomas Westwood Puzzle
Thanks mallosa I have tried every option and come up with nothing. I followed and Elizabeth Parsons who was right age and location who married a Thomas Weston and he died but eliminated as she is with father.in.law in 1881 not with Thomas Westwood

Re: Thomas Westwood Puzzle
I agree with you Kaye - https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/brows ... =466847155
Thomas's year of birth needs to be changed (according to FreeReg marriage)
