searched all The Thomas' from 1841 & Thomas the stocktaker is the son of William & Margaret it appears.
That's the one,didn't put it up earlier as we were still trying to unravel the 2 families.After her husbands death Margaret married a stocktaker which started all this off.If she'd married a butcher Thomas may have become one too & you wouldn't have had this problem,that's families for you I suppose.
Happy hunting & let us know if you get stuck again.
