You need to find Thomas' baptism which will be in the parish registers (unless he was non-conformist). These will be in the county records office. Alternatively, you could order microfilm of them at your nearest LDS family history centre. Or see if the local family history society has transcripts. But unless you know the parish, it could be a lengthy search. nell

There is someone on the Guild of One Name Studies site who is a registered researcher of a similar surname....... They live in Lincoln. It may be worth contacting them in case they have come across your family, while researching their names. Gwyn
