THOMAS was born in October 1715, the son of a weaver living in Mile End New Town. He became a weaver like his father and married Ann CHRISTIAN at St Benet Pauls Wharf in London City in 1737 when he was 22. Nine children were born between 1737 and 1760 All except the first were baptised either at Stepney St Dunstan or at St Matthew Bethnal Green after it opened in 1746. Thomas remained a weaver throughout this period. Nothing is known of Thomas or Ann after this time, though it is possible that Thomas remarried Sarah HARVEY in 1777 aged 62. |

Thomas
SHORT m Ann Christian in 1737 and fathered children up to 1760, so probably
born around 1710-1720. Possible Thomas
SHORT christenings found in London IGI and checked against original registers
are:
C 20Jan1716 Thomas s Thomas & Ann
SHORT; Old Bailey B 15Jan1716
C 25Feb1721 Thomas s Thomas & Ann
SHORT; Chick Lane B 4Feb1721
assuming
the first Thomas died, the second Thomas would have been only 16 at time of m
to Ann CHRISTIAN
C 30Oct1715 Thomas s Thomas & Mary
SHORT Mile End New Town; weaver; 12 days
This
Thomas would have been 22 at m to Ann CHRISTIAN; this is a reasonable m age,
and the right parish, and both Thomas senior
and Thomas
junior were weavers of MENT, this must be the most likely christening
C 15Feb1701 Thomas s Thomas &
Elizabeth SHORT; barbican at ye G--; --tt- [hatter?]
This
Thomas would have been 36 at m to Ann
Failing
new evidence, the parents of Thomas are assumed to be Thomas and Mary of Mile
End New Town
The
baptismal record of Francis-6 at St Dunstan, names his parents as Thomas, a
weaver of MENT, and Anne. There is only
one suitable m in the IGI, and although this was at St Benets Pauls Wharf, both
bride and groom were of St Dunstan:
m
19Sep1737 Thomas SHORT bch of St Dunstan Stepney & Ann CHRISTIAN spr of
same parish at St Benet Pauls Wharf
Three
years before the baptism of Francis, Thomas and Ann baptised a son named George
Christian; using Ann's surname provides good evidence that this is the right
marriage

MENTown, weaver, and Anne; 15 days
C 14Jun1755 [D] Francis s Thomas SHORT,

C 23Mar1758 [M] William s Thomas SHORT,
weaver, and Ann; 17 days
C
1Aug1760 [M] James s Thomas SHORT, weaver and Anne; 25 days
Interesting
that they married outside their parish church.
St Matthew opened in 1746 which explains the change of church between
Ann and Mary; it is disconcerting that both Francis's were christened back at
St Dunstan, but failing other evidence it is assumed they are the same Thomas
and Anne. Burials of first Ann and
first Francis not found in burial register of St Dunstan, though difficult to
scan.
Thomas
SHORT who m Susanna LESERF in 1762 is probably another son of Thomas SHORT
& Ann CHRISTIAN since Thomas & Susanna also had a son named George
Christian. This Thomas was buried in
1814 age 78, giving a birth year of 1736.
Maybe an illegitimate son of Ann, but no Thomas CHRISTIAN found in
London IGI, so probably born after the marriage c1738

78 [B 1736];

B 30Apr1815 Susanna SHORT, Nicol St, age
77 [B 1738];
at St Matthew BG
the absence
of ages from the St Matthew burial registers before 1813 makes a search for the
b of Thomas or Anne both difficult and almost pointless
it is
possible that Thomas remarried:
