What sort of era are we talking?
When/where did he marry? Do you have an age at death?

Here is the death

Jan/Feb/Mar 1894
Holborn
Ref 1b  489
Thomas William Hankinson age 69

So, his birth was around 1825.

As this is before Civil Registration began (1837) you will be reliant on a parish register record of a christening, if he was christened.
Where does he say he was born, on the censuses? That will be the parish to start looking in.

That looksgood

I think Caroline died, he remarried 1875 in Shoreditch as a widower, to Elizabeth Martha Lane, a widow.

His father was Thomas John Hankinson, an appraiser.

Title: Re: Looking up family connection

1871
Pauls Alley, St Giles Cripplegate
Thomas W Hankinson 46  shoe maker bn Spitalfields
Caroline 46 bn Finsbury
Emma 20  bn St Lukes
Mary A 18  bn St Lukes
Amelia 15  bnSt Lukes
Henry 12  bn Cripplegate
Elizabeth 9  bn C'gate
Minnie 7  bn C'g
John 4  bn C'g
Richard 1  bn C'g


So, Thomas gives pob as Spitalfields


Looking at the family in 1861, he says Spitalfields then too

And in 1851, so very consistant!

i know that caroline and thomas had 8 children, what im getting at is that did thomas and elizabeth have any children together?

Sorry, I was still working on your original question about Thomas's birth! Have you looked at any PRs for Spitalfields?

As to children after his marriage to Elizabeth,  need to look at that 1881 census and see ifthere are any (1881 is free to search).

Modified to add - doesnt look like it. In 1881 there are just some children ferom his marriage to Caroline, and some step children with surnmae Lane, obvioisly Elizabeths from her first marriage. She is age 50 in 1881 so unlikely they go on to have any.
