Hi just read though above census on 1841 census it says John born 1837 but 1851 has 1825 could you check on images please also Francis born 1828 is not on 1841 so is it possable for you to look for him too please.

So Thomas married twice.

Thank you

Wendy

this may explain it
Note:
In the 1841 Census a policy of rounding down ages was in place. As such, people aged:

15-19 were recorded as 15
20-24 were recorded as 20
25-29 were recorded as 25
30-34 were recorded as 30
35-39 were recorded as 35...and so on
