I have seen the original burial record and the 'age' 59 yrs, is very clear.

I have also seen those other candidates for his baptism records. There are a number of 1779 records, but from outside of our area. Of course, I realise that Thomas could have come from a different area, but this will be hard to prove.

Because of the 1779 year of birth on the burial record, I discounted the 1796 baptism, giving him the parents of, James and Mary, from memory.

I was surprised to find his will. It appears that Thomas owned a couple of properties and some land in Hewelsfield. As I mentioned earlier, he left £5 to his wife's daughter, Anne who was the wife of William Wargan of Brockswear.

Are you linked to this family in any way? Thanks again for your thoughts...

Much appreciated, Steve
