Hello to all, newbie here. Stumbled upon this great site. I'm puzzled and hopefully some one can help. I know that my 2x greatgrandfather at the age of 23 was married at St. Barnabas Cathedral in 1853 and was living at Smith's Yard in Nottingham. I have looked for him in various census but can not locate. He must have been in the area because his son, also Thomas Tarpy, was baptised at St. Barnabas Cathedral in 1863 or 1865.
2x greatdrandfather's father's name was John and was a tenent farmer. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sharinj,
Welcome to RootsChat 
Is this your family?
1871
RG10/3514 40 7
Nottingham St Mary
10 Convent Place
Thomas Tarpy, head, 44, Hawker, b. Ireland
Mary, wife, 40, Hose Sorter, b. Ireland
James, son, 14, Trimmer, b. Nottingham
Annie, dau, 11, Clipper & scolloper? lace, b. do.
Polly, dau, 8, scholar, b. do.

Maybe he was still in Ireland at the time of the 1851 census?

Thank you Tati for your rapid response. Tati the names are correct. I've never heard of a Polly but she could have passed on and subsequently never mentioned again. Thomas did marry Mary Flannery who also lived at Smith's Yard at the time of the marriage and Thomas had children named James Thomas and Annie. There may have been another son between James and Thomas. Also at the time of their marriage it is written that Thomas is a brick laborer, he may have found hawking less labor intensive  .
Yes Thomas' father is named John and Mary Flannery's father's name was Patrick Flannery also a brick laborer. At the time of their 1853 marriage Patrick Flannery was deceased. This info you have provided is fabulous.
btw what does the do mean after the letter b, which I am assuming means born. I would love to know any details. The age for Thomas is off in the 1861 census but I understand that is to be expected but it must the Tarpy's still living at Smith's yard. Thank you kindly

Yes, b. is short for born
I don't think it's your Thomas on the 1861, but they might be related somehow.
1861
RG9/2459 32 29
Nottingham St Mary
Smith's Yard
Thomas Tarpey, head, 54
Cathrine M Tarpey, dau, 15
Sabina Tarpey, wife, 48
Michael Patey Tarpey, son, 19
Mary Patey Tarpey, dau, 15
All out of work and born Ireland
Both Thomas and Mary seem to die between 1871 and 1881:
Death March quarter 1872
Mary Tarpy age 39
Nottingham 7b 197
2 possibles for Thomas, either March 1874 or March 1881.
I suppose you've got Thomas jr. in 1881, along with James?

RG11/3356 146 21
(give me a shout if the link doesn't work for you)
Polly is a petname for Mary so this could be Polly in 1881:

Sheila you nailed it. This is great! The family born to Thomas and Mary are the Tarpys I have been searching. I am positive it is them because I have had a copy of the baptism certificate of the younger Thomas and the dates are correct. Unfortunately the certificate was lost in a house fire but I remember the date. Thomas Tarpy (son) is my Mom's grandfather and is buried in my hometown. Geez all this time and I never knew about the twins. Where did you find this info? Most of the sites where I try to do research cost money?
Thank you I am thrilled with this information
