Many thanks for the great response I got on my query. Thanks go to Barb Stacey, Helen Rolph and Anne Peat. I guess my next step is to see if I can find any military records for the Regiment 2/8 foot. Thomas was married but I'm not sure to whom - possibly Emma Troman in the Sept. 1858 quarter in Birmingham..
