John Just searching on Vayro births in Belper shows three generations of Vayro births in Belper 1917-31 (three births mms Short),1944-58 (5 births, two families) and 1979-85 (2 births, 1 family). FMP have a 1950 engagement notice for the youngest son of the first generation (parents Thomas and Mrs Vayro living in Belper), so, wherever he was born, Thomas seems to have been settled in Belper by 1914 and lived there for the rest of his life. But there's something of a mystery as to where he was for the census before this. I agree that there is nothing to show him being born in Belper (although the way the death appears on FMP - b 1890 d 1957 Belper - might have misled folk.) But I think the Thomas Henry (b Pickhill, Yorks) is the most likely candidate, given he was a groom age 20 in Warwickshire (1911) and seems to have ended up in a cavalry regiment in WW1.

Also I have looked at the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses and can't find him in any of them . Virtually all Vayros born around then were born in Yorkshire not Derbyshire As far as service records are concerned, ancestry lists only one for a Thomas Vayro. The page of the record giving birthplace and date of birth is virtually illegible - on my screen at any rate - but ancestry's indexer seems to think he was born in Yorkshire in about 1884 and served in the Durham LI. Also in the record he is called just Thomas, not Thomas Henry. A Thomas H was granted a couple of medals but medal cards sadly give very little other information. Very mysterious.
