  Research Notes:

Thomas made what appears to have been a somewhat social marriage to Judith Ford in that they were married in (a side chapel of) Westminster Abbey, not usual for Sudbury dissenters, and the event was recorded in Gentleman's Magazine Jan 1741, albeit very briefly.
The researcher has been at this time unable to find much information on Judith and her family at this time but suspects an interesting story is involved - 2019

Thomas married Judith FORD [24275] [MRIN: 8741], daughter of FORD of Abchurch Lane City LND [30029] and Unknown, on 29 Jan 1740/41 in King Henry VII Chapel Westminster Abbey London. (Judith FORD [24275] was born about 1711 in London and was buried on 27 Mar 1781 in Sudbury SFK.)
