p.s.

Yes, I have all the Census records for Thomas, until he disappears, before his widow remarries in 1869.

He's not buried at Brandon.  By then his adult family had scattered, several to Surrey and environs. 

Ohhhhh, and in the above post I see that three "qustion marks" have translated as an emoticon I would not have used!!!

June TOWLER was baptised in Methwold on 19 June 1785 (giving  a reason for his unusual name, which has also been sighted as Juno!)

His mother was Ann.  He was illegitimate/base borne.

And to further compound the problem, the entry in the Cambs FHS Baptism Index is FOWLAR. But at least with a father named June there can't be any doubt about it! Unfortunately, unlike the IGI, you can't search the Index by parents.
