The only Ernest Thomas that fits in 1911 is in the Birmingham Workhouse, listed as single, and from Torquay.

More searching.

Well, surprisingly, most Ernest Thomases around that age had a middle name, but this one doesn't:

PreviewName: Raymond William Eggleton
Year of Registration: 1904
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Kings Norton (To 1912)
County: Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Alice Asenath Lloyd 1904 Kings Norton (To 1912) Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire
View Record
Nellie Shipp 1904 Kings Norton (To 1912) Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire
View Record
Ernest Thomas 1904 Kings Norton (To 1912) Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire

So I'll have a look in 1911 to see if he married Alice or Nellie.

Possible death, if it's him he did live long enough to be married and have kids:

It's K who posted the census, but I did have it. I haven't looked, but I'll bet there are thousands of Ernest Thomases marrying between 1880 and 1911. You might have to spend a lot of money to find the right one.

I can't see one born 1859 in Kidderminster. There is one born 1863, son of John and Harriet. There is one born 1859 in Bedminster, Somerst.
