Don't know if you are interested in this information fits or if you already know - but there is an entry for what I think is his gravestone on the Gravestone Photographic Resource site;

https://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/gravedetails.php?grave=171888

If you tab down you can see the gravestone image and can request them larger. This is completely free and all the site owner wants when he enlarges them for you is a letter of thanks. The other people mentioned on the gravestone are given, including his wife.

Possibly the Tom A Bourne in 1881, 6 born Birmingham, lodging with a Green family in Knaresborough?
Good find, thank you, avm228.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you, yes, that is the right family. Lydia and Sarah Ellen were sisters.

If you look at the 1881 in Cumberland (Carlisle)

You will find a Thomas, son of a Thomas and Maria born in the East Indies.

Yes, but the one I am looking for was born in Birmingham, and the one in Cumberland in 1881 is still there in 1891.

The birth found by Maureen and the census by AVM look really promising --- interesting that he dropped one of his names -- then another one!

I do hope your friend requests the birth cert.

If you have time would you please let us know the outcome if the certificate is obtained. I am sure we would all be interested in this unusual case.

I have e-mailed the Birmingham registrars and asked them to help us decide by telling us whether or not the DoB of Thomas Adair Bourne Howson is 6 May. If it is, it has to be him. The only extra details on the certificate will be the address where he was born, and who registered the birth. The latter could potentially be useful.

I'll keep you posted.
