thats it B.... i think i was having a moment... i think i will delete my delete button... or stop playing on computers late at night... thanks heaps...

so.. thomas died between 1858 and 1861... which also explains why i cant locate them after this census.. she must have remarried and given the children new surnames..... and hints and tips team.....

Looks like them, in fact it's definite as Eleanor has correct birthplace:
