At this time Thomas was probably buried in the local municipal cemetery.

There was one in Elland and according to this website;
https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/v2/residents/community-and-living/births-marriages-and-deaths/funerals-and-cremations/cemeteries

the records are held at Parkwood Crematorium -- however you would need a date of death. If youlive out of the area maybe you could use your charm and have Parkwood staff do a look up for you, otherwise the records seem to be available to view.

Elland Cemetery is on both Find A Grave and on Billion Graves -- but you would be dependent upon there being a headstone.

I cannot see anything in the on-line newspapers (although that doesn't mean it's not there somewhere of course!)
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.
