aghadowey,
                In 1891 Census of England, his year of birth is given as 1884, place Ireland, which is in the time period previously given

Have you also found him in later census? 1911 (for which we can't do look-ups) often gives a more exact place of birth than 'Ireland.'

Search for 'Thomas' born c1884 with Mullingar as the registration district I haven't found an exact match yet, just some close-ish ones (but not close enough for me to suggest ordering the certificates):
Thomas Wellan Apr./June 1883 volume 3 page 277
Thomas Whelahan Apr./June 1885 volume 3 page 287
Thomas Geoghegan Apr./June 1882 volume 3 page 287
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

aghadowey,
                Thank you for the possibilities concerning Thomas's birth. From your list I believe Thomas Wellan is the one. In 1885, the family were in Liverpool, and the 1891 census gives Thomas's birth as 1884.

Have you found Thomas in 1911 to see what's listed for birthplace?

aghadowey,
                At this moment in time the only census record I have found for Thomas is 1891, but I am still looking
