It looks like Thomas was b Lofthouse Yks and was a brick and tile manufacturer
He married Fanny Mark in Yorks and had at least 2 children with her
Fanny died 1854 in Yorks
Thomas father Matthew) married Fanny's sister Catherine Mark (fatherMichael) 13/10/1855 St Margarets Yorks
They moved to Willington and had lots of children
Hope this helps someone to connect
