1 Thomas Hicks (nothing on this one)
2 Son Thomas Hicks b 1851 Uny Lelant married 8 Oct 1877 Agnes Mary Reed b 1863 farmer 40 acres tremeling St Erth.
3 Son Thomas Truella Hicks b 1882 St Erth married Mabel Jeanette Banta
4 Son Thomas Percy Hicks b 1922 married Helen Anderson b 1927
Would anyone have come across this family?
The 1851 Thomas Hicks and family sailed to USA April 23 1905
Any information would be appreciated

What are you looking for?
the next step back I would say would be to get Thomas's birth cert (1851) to see his parents names/ mums maiden name etc

They are my wife's family she had the Ship Manifest for 1905 when they went to the states. She didn't even know they were from Cornwall so I have just about got 6 hours on this search.
I am from England but we live in Canada.
I threw this out just in case someone has some information that would save time on the 1851 Thomas Hicks, his father was also Thomas Hicks but I nothing on his mother.

You can check census on FreeCen for Cornwall

Thomas wasn't born 1851, By the looks of things, he lost a few years when he married Agnes. From 1881 on, his year of birth is 1851. But before that, the most likely match for him with parents Thomas & Margaret was baptised 16/4/1843 Uny Lelant IGI batch C022561. Uny Lelant births would be registered Penzance, so possible
Thomas Hicks dec qtr 1842 Penzance vol 9 pg 216
Both parents give Ludgvan as their place of birth - also on the IGI. Baptism for Thomas senior in batch C020962 9/4/1815 Thomas Trewheela Hicks son of John & Catherine
Parents' marriage is in batch M020961 for Ludgvan John Hicks to Catherine Trewheela 26/3/1810. Some of the Uny Lelant baptisms show Trewheela as his middle name.
Your Thomas 3 was registered as
Thomas Trewhela Hicks sept qtr 1881 Redruth vol 5c pg 199
certificates needed to confirm, but Trewheela seems to hold things together.
