What is the last sighting you have for him in the UK - any census information? Do you have his parents' or siblings names?

this a complete stab in the dark

on the wills found by Cupoflife there is a daughter named Eliza (maybe named after a grandmother)

I have been looking FAG SA Cemeteries, there is a grave at Cheltenham Cemetery for

Eliza Howard
Birth unknown   Death   1 Oct 1905 Burial  Cheltenham Cemetery
Cheltenham, City of Charles Sturt, South Australia, Australia   Plot H

in the same Cemetery in same plot

William Howard
Birth  unknown  Death   1 Oct 1885
Burial   Cheltenham Cemetery
Cheltenham, City of Charles Sturt, South Australia, Australia Plot   H

As I said a complete stab in the dark. but maybe Thomas parents

I did look at Bermondsey in the 1841 census and there is this family with parents William and Eliza HOWARD (all born in county) at Alfred Place:

William HOWARD   41   waterman
Eliza                          35
Elizabeth                    9
Eliza                            5
Emma                        4
William (unclear?)   2
Thomas                     11m

HO107/1047/2/48 pg 8&9

However, Thomas HOWARD is a common name.
