The above leads me to believe that Thomas was living in Batavia Street. Boston Ward 7, Suffolk, Massachusetts in 1920 as a lodger in the New comb household.  The father of Thomas was born in Ireland and Mother England. The Census states he was married.  He immigrated in 1910 and was naturalized in 1918. Occupation was Therapist. Medical Inst. There is no Eleanor with him.
