Thomas Tremeer of Devon circa 1830-1840
I am trying to find the birth of Thomas Tremeer formerly of Devon who somehow ended up as Assistant Librarian at the British Museum sometime prior to the marriage of his son George Thomas to Ellen Louisa Nile in Plymouth on 16 October 1860. A witness was John Edwin Tremeer.
A fellow researcher Stephen Ball found a census entry which might be Thomas

Stephen wrote "My guess is that this Thomas is either the illegitimate daughter of Emma or the son of absent parents. 'Heaton' could mean Heanton Punchardon on the
Taw estuary near Barnstaple, linking this character to the north Devon
TREMEERs who I believe tie in with the Bradworthy group. The Kent birth of
the wife could mean George saw military or marine service in those parts."

Stephen also wrote in connection with the census entry "There are George and Frances.
There's the London connection via wife Frances [Brockwell?], and either
there, masquerading as Thomas, or away in London with his father and Chevrette (and possibly some brothers/sisters) at the time of the census,is your ancestor George [Thomas], clearly named out of respect for his grandfather. You'll need to look for Frances in Woolwich (Kent) c. 1790. I
suspect the marriage may be up there too.

Any help anyone has would be appreciated.
