Possible burial of mother Martha, though if her age and Thomas's age are correct, it would mean she was 8 or 9 years older than Thomas. There are no other suitable burials:

NB I've not managed to find a baptism for Martha in FS or fmp, in either Cheshire or Staffordshire - all the likely ones seem to die young.

Have not found a probable baptism on FS.

Can find no evidence of a place in Shropshire called anything like Henhall.

I wonder if he was confused by some bits of that part of Cheshire being designated as Shropshire re censuses in part of the 19th century, as happens near Malpas? Certainly, what appears to be his brother William, in 1871, also says he was born at Henhall, Shropshire.
NB William and John appear to be perhaps joint heads of the household in that, but fmp have made them into 2 households.

The only likely Henhall I can find is a bit north of Acton, now called Henhull, but printed as Henhall on the 1833 OS map (Vision of Britain website).


The only vaguely suitable JB baptism I can find is:

Possible baptisms for wife Margaret Stockley (4 years either side of her estimated birth year!). Both are of Wrenbury. Personally I would go for the 1800 Richard and Sarah's daughter, as Margaret and John gave children those names:

NB In January of the same year, a daughter Sarah was baptised there for William and Margaret of Cholmondeston.
