Hi again, this is the 1851, 1861 still to locate :-

Thomas Cross 67 b Gaiton, Leicestershire
Ann 63 b Gaiton
Headman 28 ( is this William from 1841)? b Hatton
James 23 Married b Hatton
Elizabeth 21 Married/Wife b Tetford
John 16 b Hatton
Elizabeth 9 Granddaughter b Boston
Residing Hatton, Horncastle

Cannot locate a Gaiton in Leicestershire, could it therefore be Gayton le Marsh East Lindsey, Caistor the baptism of Thomas in 1783 was Caistor, West Lindsey
Have you Thomas in 1861 census?

EDIT Note in 1861 census certain areas within Horncastle registration district including Hatton had pages missing.

Hello again Keyboard.
I have also found the christening in Caistor and now I am starting to wonder if this may have been misinterpreted onto the records. I find it hard to imagine that he would have been born in Gayton le Marsh and then taken 22 miles  (a long way in those days) to Caistor to be christened.
(The christening record is actually where I got George and Jemima from although I can't find anything about them).

Thank you very much for your help.
I shall now press on and see what else I can find.
Regards
Kev
