Here is the death

Jan/Feb/Mar 1894
Holborn
Ref 1b  489
Thomas William Hankinson age 69

So, his birth was around 1825.

As this is before Civil Registration began (1837) you will be reliant on a parish register record of a christening, if he was christened.
Where does he say he was born, on the censuses? That will be the parish to start looking in.
