Thomas was an officer at the naval shipyards in Plymouth, England. After Napoleon's capture at Waterloo
he was taken on the "Bilerifow" which went to South Hampton and Plymouth for repairs over which he had
charge. He made a cane out of teakwood which was later stolen in Canada. He married Miss Saunders whose family
went to Australia (free will) at the time of the discovery of gold.
