Now I'm confused, because on the 1851 census there is a Mary William age 17 born Pendoylan who is granddaughter to William Day age 83 born Gloucestershire. William's wife is Mary age 65 born Glamorganshire (place name I can't read). I thought Anne's maiden name was Thomas, because of Elizabeth Thomas mother in law who is with Thomas sr and Anne on the 1851, so who's William Day? Is it possible he's Thomas sr's father and they used that patronymic system when Thomas sr was born (around 1799), even though William Day was English? So that Thomas was named Thomas William because his father was William?
(or is it a different Mary?)
