No problem, but I have only just seen this post, so apologies, it will be tomorrow now. Maybe AngelaR will still be around, so I will check in the morning.

Is this the previous generation, or did Thomas stay in Chirton with a Malting business ? Altho I note that a Rebecca was mentioned earlier as Thos jnr's mother. Maybe Thos Snr remarried?

Added: From the IGI, it looks like this Thomas was the son of Daniel and Elizabeth.
