Hi Ana,
I wasn't arguing against Percy SMITH - it's just that I can't manage to find him in the 1881 census on FamilySearch!
Let's hope someone can look with fresh eyes for James's father Joseph TOMBS in 1841, 1851 and later censuses (sorry - I don't have access to these).
And for James in 1841 and 1851 (though he does seem likely to be the 14yo tap boy b Hanley in the 1851).
Good luck,
JAP PS: (Added later) This is probably just a red herring but on FreeBMD there's a Joseph Wagstaff TOMBS marrying in Worcester in 1839 ...

You mentioned a Joseph TOMBS in Castlemorton in the 1851 and 1861.
This perhaps the same chap as the following in the 1881 in Castlemorton: Joseph TOMBS, 60, Ag Lab, b Castlemorton Eliza TOMBS, 30, Wife, Glover, b Hereford Emma TOMBS, 7, Daur, b Castlemorton Charles TOMBS, 4, Son, b Castlemorton Their marriage perhaps the one of a Joseph TOMBS (also indexed as THOMBS) in 1870 in Upton on Severn, an Eliza COOPER on the same page.
Not that this helps.

There are only two Tombs families in the Parish of Hanley Castle in 1841:
HO107/1 fol.47 p.21 Coronation Lodge, Hanley Castle Henry Tombs 30, Shoemaker Ann " 30 Charles " 8 Henry " 5 Mary " 3 George " 4 months Thomas Allen 40 Horsekeeper Thomas Tombs 15 J.Shoemaker all born in county
Looking for the family of the 4 month old George Tombs. He married Marion Lee in 1859. Their granddaughter Edith Marion Tombs (b. 1894) came to Canada as a home child.

This is the same person as outlined below George Tombs (1841-1887) and Marion Lee (1834 - 1883). Missing from the 1881 Census record below is Elizabeth Marion Tombs their daughter born Abt. 1867. I think that she is working as a servant for the Edis family of 1 Clifton Villas Maxwell Rd. (www.familysearch.org) - (no other evidence to support this). She had a child Edith Marion Tombs in 1894 at the Fulham Union Workhouse and Infirmary with no father listed. The father was a Benjamin West as can be found from Edith Marion Tombs registration to the Barnardo Home for Children admission record from 4 September 1901. I have worked out most of the details from this record concerning her admission (quite a sad story). My interest is that Edith Marion Tombs is my wife's grandmother. Would be pleased to provide further details. Elizabeth Marion Tombs either married or lived with an Arthur Day (1856 - 1901) and had a child Rosie early in 1901.
