Ah, I see Jonathan JONES was a malster on Thomas's baptism on 13 Apr 1800.

How certain are you that this is your Thomas' parents? There is also a Thomas JONES baptised at Pendleton on 5 May 1799, son of Samuel JONES and Margaret.

Their daughter Rosannah Jones b.1832/3 was bapt.10th Feb 1833 at St Mary's Cof E Eccles & she married Robert Burgess.but at St Thomas,Pendleton Salford I think Thomas possible started work with his father Jonathon who was also a Malster.Thomas was b.Prestwich,Manchester but also baptised at St Mary's Cof E Eccles.

I know this church very well as I am also an Eccles girl.The church was used by people from a lot of the surrounding towns/villages years ago.

Irrelevant information - sorry

I'm still not quite sure why you  think Thomas, the father of Rosanna born 1833 was a brewer? On her baptism it says father was a dyer, and on her marriage in 1860 it has her father Thomas, a dyer. 

Do you have anything definite to link Thomas to the Jonathan JONES, malster of Prestwich as appears on the 13 April 1800 baptism?

The searches I am doing are for my son from my previous marriage. My son had been passed a lot of papers which an older family member (now deceased) had been carrying out family research on. It is from there that Thomas Jones is described as a Malster & that he was born in Prestwich,Manchester.
With respect to the person who had been doing this work & was an older member of my sons paternal family I may have made an error in thinking it was correct as I would have thought they would have more knowledge of their own family.
My son is eager to know about his ancestors & that is why he ended up with the papers given to him by his deceased fathers family who have no interest whatsoever in this.
I do apologise if this has caused any inconvenience in all your hard work.

OK! Thank you for this.I will keep this in my file

I hope I didn't give offense, it's a habit to question everything when it comes to family history! Especially with such a common name.

I was going to do a bit more looking, thanks heywood for confirming at least that Thomas son of Samuel is out of the running. 

I said earlier that the 1851 census had Thomas born Pendleton, however as the page is so hard to read I had another look. I don't think it is Pendleton, but not sure what it might be. The children are born Pendleton, but the parents are somewhere different.  Maybe Thomas (the top line here) is Prestwich?

Well Maddy,I have a very strong magnifier & I have tried to see what it says but it is difficult.
It could be Prestwich but then again it maybe something beginning with a B. I am really undecided???
