Facts and Events
Thomas Austin's early life has yet to be researched. If the age quoted at his burial is correct, he was born in about 1744, whilst he reported as an adult that he had been born in Ashwell, Hertfordshire. His first sighting is in 1772 when he married an Ann Seers at Barkway, although this appears to have been his second marriage. In 1776 he fell foul of the poor laws, being removed from Barkway to Ashwell. His second wife Ann died at Ashwell in 1787. It would appear that Thomas and Ann had children, but they have yet to be researched and documented here. Thomas married again in 1788. His third wife was a 37 year old widow named Mary Lincoln, formerly Bryant. They had a son named George in 1790. In 1793 they had twin boys called Edward and Paul, but sadly both twins died within a month of their baptism. The following year, 1794, Thomas's third wife Mary died, aged 43. Thomas outlived her by nearly ten years. He died in 1804 aged 62. The burial record notes that his was an "accidental death" but does not elaborate on how it happened. References
