Hi Ken

Welcome to RootsChat  ;D

Do you have certificates to confirm these relationships?  William and Jane's marriage certificate should name both their fathers and give occupations.  Jane's surname is showing as CRAIG in the indexes.

You will find William and Jane and their family in 1901 and 1911 in Sligo.  Their ages in 1911 are a bit askew.

So, Next

As Dundee said, what proof do you have that William & Jane are Thomas' parents ?

Where was Thomas in 1901 ?

Anyway, for now, for others reference here are the William & Jane being referred to in 1901.

. . . and again in 1911 !

So. if you let us know all the information that you have so that we can help you !

Again, for reference

This William & Jane had a son called Thomas b 1875 whom obviously passed away in childhood.

A later son b 1879 was then given the name Thomas, a common practice.
