Trying to discover who the parents of Thomas kerton, / Kirton

Born 1865 ?? Winchester Hampshire  ??

Anyone help please

This seems a likely birth registration:

First name(s): Thomas
Last name: Kerton
Birth quarter: 4
Birth year: 1865
Mother's maiden name: Viggin
District: Winchester
County: Hampshire
Country: England

Did he get married? If so, to whom?

A brother, James William Kerton, was born in 1868 in the same place.

No obvious marriage between a Kerton and a Viggin (which is a very unusual surname).

No sign of James or Thomas in any Censuses but Thomas is in Winchester in 1939

Piece 629, folio 122, p 18

Same family in 1911 in Havant: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW3T-S7W   I think daughter Margaret is the person he's with in 1939

Interesting baptism: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLY4-JL4W

Looks like James may have died in 1875 in Romsey

This looks promising as there is also James William Keston baptised 7 October 1868 to John and Anna Keston in Farley-Chamberlayne.

However, the surname seems to keep changing: Keston, Kerton, Kestor...

Anna's maiden name was BIGGIN

presumably an error in the Winchester records

1891 - Manor Farm dairy,  Zeals Tything, Mere
Anna Kerton    65    widow
Rose Kerton   27    b Shirley
Thomas Kerton    25    b Slachstead Wilts Dairyman
Edward E Kerton   20    b Romsey
