My grandfather William John Thomas is shown living in Priddy Somerset but his mothers name is now Sarah Luff and the head of the household is Mark Luff. Presumably his father has died but as I have no idea of his name ...help

You havent given us any dates. You can buy his birth cert for his fathers name.

The marriage:

Marriages Dec 1891

Luff Mark Wells 5c 937
Thomas Sarah Wells 5c 937

Buy his birth cert for £7 from GRO online using this ref:

Births Mar 1885
Thomas William John Wells 5c 533

or look up his marriage if you need info on his wife aswell - you can do this free on freebmd.org and buy the cert.

Ah, you didnt mention the 1891 where he is with mum and sister and mum is shown as single :( If you knew that it would have been helpful to say at the start.
