If you have a person's Social Security number, you can also order (for a fee) their original Social Security application, as explained towards the bottom of this webpage:  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rwguide/lesson10.htm  This application typically gives parents' names and place of birth, among other information.

Was Thomas' name mistranscribed on that passenger list?  I don't see him anywhere on that ship. 

Sometimes, the passenger list will have markings about naturalization, and, if he was naturalized, the naturalization papers may list dates of birth for his children.

Just a small snippet.  It also states on the Boston Passenger List that Thomas was going to Uncle John Dobbin, 410 East, 135 th Street. New York. Duration of intended stay was 1 year. Port of arrival:-  Boston
There are some manifest markings as Shelly suggested - 218652 or 2/8652 - and possibly Oct 6 1928
