None of John's children was named Thomas or Hannah, which makes me wonder whether the baptism I have found is the right one. If it is him, then he had a brother Samuel born 1814 and a sister Mary Ann born 1819, both Bedminster. One of John's children did have the middle name Samuel. John is 35 on the 1851 census, so the baptism date of 1815 would fit with this. If only they'd waited a few more months to get married!

Edit: I have DNA matches to Hannah Filer's family, so this does seem to be correct.
