Yarwood Thomas 1861

[heywood]

The Thomas on the farm in 1851 was b Bowden. So is this chap - but I think you're suggesting he's not the one  you're after

1861 - Droyslden

Thomas Garwood    25    b Bowden, fustian dyer
Mary J Garwood      27    Wife
Samuel Garwood     12 [probably 2]
Robert Garwood        4  [months]

He’s the one who is the son of Thomas, the Blacksmith and his wife Ann, I think. They are in Manchester in 1851.

You are right Mabel he isn't my Thomas after all.  My Thomas was born in Dunham and his father was William Yarwood Wheelright.  I thought it was him on the farm in 1851, but now not sure, as he was still working for William (his Dad) with his brothers James and George until 1854.  So don't know why he wasn't living at home on the 1851 census.  Oh well I shall keep looking, but will probably pass it on to my nephew who has got the bit between his teeth now, after not being remotely interested before LOL.
Thank you again
