What do you already have about him - he is easily found on the 1871 census with his parents and siblings, do you have that info?

sorry should have been specific, you are right I have that info was hoping for his parents William and Martha (maiden name?)

The only way to be certain would be to get Thomas' birth cert, because that will tell you Martha's maiden name, but I would hazard a guess that it is Pridmore.  There is a marriage in Wisbeach (Jun qtr 1864, Wisbeach 3b 1019) with William Bodger and Martha Pridmore on the same page.  (Other names are John Clayton and Hannah Pell)
