Right, I now have a birth certificate!
Thomas Atkinson born 27th Feb 1844 Thaites, Keighley
Father: John Atkinson, a Wool Comber
Mother: Elizabeth Atkinson Late Smith Formerly Judson
So looks as though Elizabeth was a widow when she married John, and the surname Judson was the surname of the Sarah whom I thought was John's first wife!!
