Research
Question
Are the following Census records a correct match....???
Why not? Age doesn't match, nor does age of Son Thomas
Also, now living in Gloucester rather than Bristol, though as a "Journeyman" that shouldn't preclude a match
But - if it is a match then this has to be reconciled with records for children

To be considered further.....
Samuel and Susanna Wren
Of possible interest is this 1841 Census record, in the same district (Barton Regis) and same Parish (St Philip & St Jacob) as Thomas's record of the same year
[7]
| Name | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |
| Susanna Wren | F | 70 | Gloucestershire | |
| Samuel Wren | M | 30 | Gloucestershire |
Possibilities might include Samuel being a younger brother of Thomas, and perhaps Susanna as their mother (pure speculation without further research)
Richard Wren
Similarly, another 1841 Census records lists Richard Wren, also living in St Philip & St Jacob Parish (again, another possible brother or cousin)
