Hi ShaunJ, have had a look at the record on FindMyPast and it does seem to fit. His "civvy" trade of "Clicker" fits his profile as well. The only thing I cannot confirm is his Fathers (Thomas senior) address in Henry Street as the census on either side of his service record give a different address. However, as his Father seemed to move every few years, it is entirely possible that he could have lived in Henry Street.
The age difference doesn`t bother me unduly as it was known that young men falsified their ages to get into the Army, so quite possible that he did this as well - his son Ernest did this as well!
Re Thomas Senior, I`ll have to do a bit more research on this, but many thanks for the suggestions so far.
Best wishes,
Jenny
