I'm also seeing a Thomas Varley that matches the description slightly but I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm wondering if anybody else has come across him?
He is on various census with his family, two of them being a wife Susannah (?) and a son Richard.
I think you're probably right with the Thomas and Selina that you've both found but I'm trying to cover all angles 
Just to confirm are these the censuses you are referring too - details previously posted by Jaysholme
also posted were the marriage details for Richard Varley & Selina
