Hi
What was the source of your information giving Thomas' age having a birth year of 1796, please?
The IGI gives two Thomas TILTs. Why couldn't he be the 1806 one, as Thos. TILT. FreeREG doesn't have the 1796 one. (Note these are both just indexes - finding tools - and details should not added to your tree until confirmed.
Remember too that the IGI often calculates the
average age of a marriage from the date of birth. FreeREG gives the date of marriage as 26th July 1823.
If you can't get to Worcester Family History Centre, the LDS will hire in for you, for a fee, copies of register films.
Please note the baptism registers for St. John's, sometime around 1800-1805 overlap!!! And the information sometimes differs
Be aware that there may be other churches recording baptisms.
Hope that helps a little
Mike
