An IGI record I pulled up has Thomas christened at Maughold on 27 May 1849 but this may belong to a different family with parents of the same name?
JQs Will (he died in 1887) states that Thomas was in the 'Americas' but I've not been able to find any travel by him to the USA/Canada.
Thomas was also recognised as a son in JQs will together with William Henry, Edward and daughters Ellinor wife of Senogles, Ann wife of Alfred White and Christian. George died before his father and therefore doesn't get a mention.
If John Robert is another son, he and Catharine, may also have died before their father?
It can only get better! I've assumed Thomas would have left from Liverpool for the 'Americas' Any suggestions on tracing him that from point. Ellis Island doesn't appear to have anything.
