Hi Dancing Bear,
                         Can you tell us any more? Do you have fathers name POB etc. I can see a 6 year old (But he Lists as Thomas Henry) 4 year old and 3 year old in 1841. Had a quick check of 61 and 71 and see one says Deptford the other doesnt say and none of these I can see are in Deptford.....Same goes for 1851.....Kris  ???

I think this is the family of the Thomas provided by Jericho. Have been chasing the different Thomas's between the 2 censuses. Working out which is which..Given Mary Anns POB he looks most likely

Hi Dancing Bear. You could order in the Parish records for this area at your local LDS library and see what turns up. I'm in Australia and find them very good. They only charge a small fee for postage to get the film in. When it arrives they give you a ring to let you know and keep the film a few weeks to give ample time for you to get in and examine the records.......All the best......Kris

Thanks Kris
I'm also from australia, i will need them to keep the records for  a couple of weeks as i am at least 2 hour drive away from my nearest LDS library.
Thanks again for all of your help
