I'm trying to find out anything about Henry THOMAS alias GORF.
He gives his place of birth as Whiteparish around 1765.
Why would he have had a alias?

uncertain paternity perhaps ?
or reverting to a name if / when paternity established ?
Interestingly, in recent times, the CFO of ******* Cars was a Gorf - we reversed his name to give an alias of FROG NEK...
Coats already on .....

I think I've got more chance of finding out about him if he was a GORF.

In answer to your last query for the use of aliases see the post on this site in the England General section entitled 'An Alias as a Surname'. It was posted 17 June 2008.

I had a look in Whiteparish and could find no Henry Thomas in 18th century, found these baptisms
15 Mar 1635 Henry Thomas son of William jnr
26 Oct 1666 Henry Thomas son of Henry.
And a burial 1 Sep 1682 Henry Thomas.
As expected no Gorfs either.
Cheers Dave

Many, many thanks for looking. 
Shame you didn't find him. 
I suspect he is a lost cause.
