As we have said previously - the marriage certificate is a must in this case. It will simply be guesswork otherwise. At least a father's name and occupation should cut down the possibilities on the census records (hopefully to only 1 if we are lucky!!).
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Phew! That's great news Cazza -- do please let us know the outcome if you still can't find your Thomas on census records after receiving the certificate and we'll try to help.

Found out that Thomas Cockburn parents were Robert Cockburn who was born in Scotland and Frances Watson from Whitehaven, they were living in lancashire. Thanks for all help.

June 1/4 of 1899

S.Shields mmn Watson

Emeltom

Sounds like this is the correct birth then.

ADDED- although this one is showing as a mother's maiden name of Lynn?

Maybe this one is the right one?
