I have been looking to trace the Thoms family of Carbon ear. My great grandmother's maiden name was Tryphena Nicoll Thoms. She married Charles Marshall of Carbonear. Her parents were William Thoms and Joanna Cleary. Charles and Tryphena had 2 children ... Lillian C Marshall who died in 1903 aged 20 and Mark William Marshall (my grandfather) who married Rebecca Snelgrove of Grates Cove

I'm pretty sure you guys are related. My father, John Thoms, and uncle, Jim Thoms (NTV NEWS) did the family tree thing some time ago, and I know these names sound familiar as belonging to the it; I know Carbonear is. There's a Jeremiah in there somewhere, might have been a brother of George or something.

Re: Jeremiah Thoms From Carbonear, Newfoundland

patriciapike93 — 2009-11-25 01:39:31Z

I thought this was a possibility but the Jeremiah Thoms that I have in my family tree is listed as being born in Dec 1851.

Re: Jeremiah Thoms From Carbonear, Newfoundland

grisward — 2009-11-24 23:03:06Z

I believe Jeremiah was married to the widow Laing (Charlotte). See Esau Willis Thoms' birth registration at http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/ccn/info/Heritage/NGB/Vstats/vs-v4...

I thing Jeremiah married Charlotte on 6 December 1860, and had about 7 children with her.

I think he married Ellen Clark in 1881. I don't know what happened to Charlotte.

patriciapike93 — 2009-11-24 22:24:32Z

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right Jeremiah Thoms. There were a few of them in Carbonnear at the time. The Jeremiah Thoms that is my great grandfather was married to Ellen Clarke. They had numerous children together, however; only one child survived a flu epidemic that happened in the 1890's.

There is a possibility that Jeremiah Thoms was married more then once. Do you know if he had another wife?

Re: Jeremiah Thoms From Carbonear, Newfoundland

grisward — 2009-11-24 21:02:37Z

Hello Patricia;
I have looked at Jeremiah just recently and briefly. I believe his son married my husband's grandmother.
i.e. Esau Willis Thoms married Mary Prudence Clarke (both in Carbonear, NFLD.) in 1899. She later married Orland(o) Colwell Ward (my husband's grandfather) in St. John, NB.
I found Esau's birth at http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/vs-v46-ang-mar-1860-1891-car..... It is really Mary Prudence Clark(e) that I am researching. So far I have not found her family. Happy to exchange info.

Yours truly,

Re: Thoms of Dundee, Scotland

willstuart57 — 2009-08-21 22:17:08Z

I cannot help you with recent Thoms Family news from Dundee. However, you may interested to know about my Thoms link to Dundee. I have family archives, books etc recording the Thoms from the West Country in England from about1590. A Captain Thoms was a soldier on General Monk’s army in the English civil war. At this time the Scots in Dundee were loyal to the King and Thoms was in the Parliamentarian army. After the battle he settled in Dundee. This is where my Scottish link with the Thoms comes from. My family tree ends in 1856 so I cannot help with current issues.

I hope this is of general interest to you

Hi Fred,

My name is Patricia. My father was born in Carbonear. I am looking for information on his grandfather named Jeremiah Thoms. Jeremiah married Ellen Clark back in the 1880's. They had at least one child named Nellie (Ellen). I do know that Jeremiah spent his life in Carbonear. If you have any information on this part of the Thoms family, it would be greatly appreciated. They have many descendants here in New York.

Thanks,

Patricia

I'm afraid I don't. The information that I have is that Captain Daniel Thoms went with his wife Mary to St Johns, Newfoundland, from Greenock, Scotland. Mary was from Greenock, whilst Daniel was originally from Liverpool. If I do find either of those two names however, I will be back in touch. Thank you for replying.

Re: Thoms of Carbonear, Newfoundland

patriciapike93 — 2008-09-02 13:38:22Z

It is possible. The Thoms family that I am looking for were descendants of Jeremiah Thoms and Ellen Clark Thoms. Most of the children of Jeremiah and Ellen died in an epidemic that went around Canada in the late 1890's. But Jeremiah may have had siblings. Do you recognize the name Jeremiah or Ellen Clark?

OK I am new to this. My maiden name is Thoms and I am from Rock Island Illinois. My great grandfather married Fredericka Williamina, and when she dies he married her sister Willamena Frdericka. I could very easily have this backwards. My grandfather, Raymond Carl, was born in 1899. Do you think we are talking about the same family?

Thoms Surname Scottish/German Connection

BobbyThomas28 — 2008-03-08 21:23:50Z

I received the following material from Hamish Thoms (cousin of Andrew MacThomas of Finegand, Chief of the Clan MacThomas) a couple of years ago. The original material belongs to Brian Turnbull. I contacted Mr. Turnbull and obtained his permission to share this information. I hope you enjoy reading this little bit of Thoms family history.

The Thoms family discussed here are connected to the Thoms of Aberlemeno (the Chiefly line of the Scottish Clan MacThomas).

The Clan, AYE!

Transcript of a letter sent in 1988 from Walter Praetorius to Griselda Turnbull about the German branch of the Thoms family Original manuscript is with Brian Turnbull.

Dear Griselda,

Looking at the genealogical tree you will notice that your direct ancestors go back to the eldest, mine to the second son of our common great-great-grandfather George Thoms, and his wife Elizabeth Hunter.

My great-grandfather Henry Thoms (1798 – 1846) was a merchant. As such, he emigrated from Dundee to Riga, which was then a completely German town belonging, however, to the Russian empire.

[The German Riga (now capital of the Soviet Republic of Latvia) was founded by Bishop Adalbert of Bremen in 1201 with the help of the German Knights of the Sword (a semi-clerical order). The Knights became feudal masters in what was then called Estland (capital: Reval), Livland (capital: Riga) and Kurland where they owned large estates. German merchants settled in the towns. In the Middle Ages, Riga became a Hanseatic town (Hanse = League of German trading centres).]

At the age of 40, he married the German girl Emilie Nölting who then was 23. After having had four children together – Eliza, Henry, George and Jessie – he died, rather young, at the age of 48. In 1854 she married a second time: Eduard Hollander (1820 – 1897) an important and very humane personality who was to be the last Lord Mayor of German Riga before the Russians turned the whole administration of Riga Russian.

My grandfather Henry (1841 – 1904) was at a British school (I do not know where,
but suppose that it was in Dundee and that during that time he lived in his uncle Patrick’s house who was provost of Dundee) in his early youth and did not return home to Riga before 1856. I suppose that my great-grandmother must have thought that she owed her husband, deceased so early, to give their son a proper British education. At any rate when he returned in 1856 he could not speak German and as, unfortunately, his mother and stepfather were not at home that day, he had some pains in finding where he belonged. He completed his education and training as a merchant, and rather well-to-do too. Later on he also became Brazilian consul, and was always called “The Consul”.

My grandmother Hanna Berg must have been a particularly beautiful woman. Unfortunately she died of consumption when she was only 32 which was when my mother was only one year old. So my mother grew up motherless which, I think, is very hard for any child.

At the houses of my great-grandfather and grandfather everybody spoke German, although everybody knew English (and some French and Russian). My mother even got a British passport in 1895 (Miss Hanna M Thoms (British subject) travelling on the Continent) signed by Salisbury, Secretary of Foreign Affairs which is now in my possession.

My mother married Richard Praetorius also in Riga. The Praetorius family spoke German as the Thomses but, whereas the latter were British, the Praetoriuses were Russian subjects. After their marriage my parents moved to Varsaw in Poland (which was also part of the Russian Empire at that time). My father was a merchant at Varsaw from 1898 to 1914. There my eldest sister Emily (b 1899), my elder brother Hans Richard (b 1905) and my little sister Ilse (b 1902), who died of poliomyelitis at the age of two, and myself were born.

When I was 3, World War I broke out. As a Russian subject, my father had to serve in the Russian army which was in war with Germany and Austria. We all, our family as well as the many relatives in Riga were Germans in our hearts, but stood – as we felt – on the wrong front. Our hope and belief was that the war would only last for a short time, and then everything would be settled peacefully and life would go on as before. Of course we could not go to Germany, because that would have meant to cross the frontier. But an uncle of ours, who lived on the River Volga in Russia and was rather wealthy, possessing a big house in Saratow and a dacha in the country – a so-called Volga German who had married a sister of my father – invited us to Saratow. And there my mother with Emily, Hans and myself stayed up to the Russian Revolution in 1917 when the Bolsheviks occupied (better: seized) my uncle’s house. We could not return to Varsaw at an earlier date because, in the meant!
ime, it had been conquered by the Germans.

We managed – together with my uncle’s family – to travel to Riga and from there
to Varsaw where we moved into our old apartment, which we found as we had left it. Nothing had been damaged or stolen. In the meantime, my father had also returned from the front. A new problem arose when Poland was founded as a country of its own, independent from Russia. We had to decide whether we were willing to opt and thus become Polish or to leave the country. We chose the latter, moved to Berlin and lived there afterwards.

My brother Hans married in Berlin and had a son, Gerhard and two step children,
a boy and a girl. Hans fell as a German soldier in France in 1940. His wife Edith died several years later of consumption. Gerhard has become a gardener and owns a shop and a house in West Berlin.

My father died in 1938, my mother in 1947 and Emily in 1965. I married in 1942 and after the war settled in Goslar with my wife Friederike. We have four children. Richard and Cornelia are the only ones who are married.

Now all this is rather scanty, and there may be slight mistakes. Besides I do not know what you are particularly interested in. Much else could be told in this context but I have tried to concentrate upon the essentials.

Now, at any rate for the moment, I am empty. If you should have questions, please ask again.

I am interested in finding out any information regarding Jeremiah Thoms who was born in Carbonear, Newfoundland in the 1800's. He was married to Ellen Clark(e). He also may have been married to a Charlotte Laing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thoms of Carbonear, Newfoundland

2006-11-05 03:47:41Z

My grandmother was Nellie Thoms. She was born in Carbonear, Newfoundland in September 1893. Her father was Jeremiah Thoms. I do not know his birthdate but I believe that he was married to Ellen Clark(e).

Nellie Thoms married into the Pike family. Her husband's name was William George "Sonny" Pike. They eventually moved to Brooklyn, New York.

I am interested in knowing if anyone has any information regarding the Thoms family of Carbonear, Newfoundland.
