Sanford married Emma Eva TOWLER on 18 Aug 1885 in , McLennan, Texas, USA. Emma (daughter of Joseph T TOWLER and Hannah E HOLMES) was born on 13 Jan 1866 in Wereham, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom; was christened on 12 Aug 1866 in Wretton, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom; died on 4 Jan 1944 in Austin, Travis, Texas, USA; was buried on 6 Jan 1944 in Waco, McLennan, Texas, USA.

• death certificate: 5 Jan 1944; T L Ragesdale of Austin

Notes:

1900 Census says she had 8 children with 3 living [Ellen, Walter and Luther].

Thomas' birth certificate says he is her 11th child with four living. I have to assume that this means there are four others besides him living [Ellen, Walter, Luther and Sanford]. Luther was hit by a car and killed the next year.

She was probably born in 1866-7. This is the year given by her parents and by her when she is left to her own devices.
