He is on there as Thomas but his name is Tom.

I haven't been able to find him anywhere since. Today I found that Tom in Bradford about the right age so thought I would see if it was him. But it looks as if I a wrong given that 1881 census you have given me.

Oh Well I will just have to keep on looking for him.

I know two of his brothers moved to Birmingham so perhaps he went there with them.

All the best

Thank you very much safc

The baptism with parents Mary ann and William Chorley are the correct family,

Shirley the Tom from Bridgwater is mine.

I will have to look into that marriage with Jane Bowerman. It would be great if it was mine. Thank you so much Andy, shirley and safc for helping me.
