Birth:
23 Oct 1840
As the date of his baptism (25 October 1840) was the same as his brother Edward's and according to the 1861 Census that were the same age it is assumed that they were twins. No birth registration could be found. However, until the law was tightened in 1874 not all births were registered with clergy saying that a baptismal record was sufficient. However, the date of Edward's birth is given on his memorial in Canwick Road Cemetery.
Baptism:
25 Oct 1840 (age 0)
St Michael's Parish Church4
Address: Wark-on-Tyne, Northumberland
Although both parents names were recorded in the Baptismal Register his mother Jane was probably too ill after the birth of her twin sons to attend as she died the day after the baptism. Thomas's twin brother Edward was baptised on the same occasion.

However, judging from the occupations of the residents of adjacent properties West Parade was probably a commercial area and the hotel was at that address although no quests are shown on the night of the Census.
