The fact that he is shown as 'jnr.' would indicate his father was also a Thomas and indeed, on the same page in 1851 is:
Thomas Galloway 54 Hand Loom Weaver b. Dysart
Elizabeth Galloway 54 ditto
Isabella Galloway 27 ditto
Marjory Galloway 21 ditto
(Thomas junior also a Hand Loom Weaver).

thank you annette

There are submitted entries on IGI for marriage of Thomas Galloway to Elizabeth Fife (Fyfe) 23/4/1820 Dysart. The on-line coverage for Dysart is not good and I cannot find their 2 daughters baptisms either.

I am sure this is them. I have searched for births for Thomas 1821 & thomas c1794 but found nothing. the marriage to elizabeth fife/fyfe just says they married, no other details.
do u know anything about 1841 census. did they round up their ages?
I found this on SP but dont have enough credits to access the full census:
Thomas Galloway age 20 in Dysart
Thomas Galloway age 40 also in Dysart
-
Ages in 1841 were rounded down for people over 15 i.e. someone shown as 40 could be born anywhere between 1797 and 1801.
I don't have any credits left on SP either but I can view a transcript on Ancestry.
1841 - West Gallatown, Old Pattery, Dalserf, Fife
Thomas Galloway 40 Linen H.L.W. born Fife
Elizabeth Fyfe 40 Linen H.L.W. ditto
Thomas Galloway 20 Linen H.L.W. ditto
Isabella Galloway 15 Linen H.L.W. ditto
Alcey (?) Galloway 15 Linen H.L.W. ditto
May Galloway 12 Linen H.L.W. ditto
(Wive's are often shown by their maiden name in Scotland - guessing May is the Marjory in 1851).

any idea how i find out which birth is his?
i have no idea of mothers maiden name, no clues on marriage, no relatives living with them that i can see with different name, no thomas's born dysart. I wonder if i found the childrens births if the maiden name might be a middle name !/.?
any ideas appreciated
-thanks
lisa

Thomas senior was still alive in 1861 and can't find him in 1871 so looks like he probably died between 1861 and 1871.
Your only resource is to find and view his death certificate as this will list his parents names (Scottish certificates give lots of information unlike English ones) and hopefully enable you to locate his parents marriage. Looks like more credits needed for SP!

Why don't you scan the record, crop to the illegible section(2) and attach it here, where someone will be able to decipher it for Lisa :)
