In 1861 he was a “nurse child” living with a couple called William and Emilia Stone in Twydall Lane, Gillingham. His mother had died in 1859 leaving 6 children to be cared for, and his father had been unable to cope with a baby young baby. Thomas was not taken away from his carers and in 1871 was living with Emilia in Gillingham Lane, Gillingham and listed as her stepson (this of course should have read foster son).
In 1881 Thomas and Christina were living at 205 Milkwood Rd., Lambeth, Surrey. He was a railway clerk and entered his birthplace as being in Ireland.
In 1891 Thomas, Christina, and the children were living in the Station House, Borough Green, Kent.
The cause of death stated that he died from a gun shot wound accidentally inflicted on himself in the office at Borough Green Station, Wrotham, on the London and Chatham Railway. There was a very brief newspaper report in the local paper however which said that he committed suicide.
In 1901 Christina was living at 25 Douglas Road, Maidstone and working as a charwoman to keep her family.
