Thomas Birchenough was born in 1848 in Macclesfield. From FreeBMD there are two Thomas Birchenough, one born 1848 in Wolaston and another Thomas Garner born in Dec 1849 in Macclesfield. I can rule out the one born in 1848 and I am not certain that the other Thomas is the one I am researching either.

There are no clues on Familyserach site either.

In 1851 Census he was living in Lodgings with his father, Charles.

In 1861 Census his father married and started a family where Thomas was included.

In 1871 Census the family grow and Thomas still lived with them.

In 1881 his father had past away in 1874 and half sister, Mary married in 1876 and lived in the family home with his other half brothers and sisters. Thomas did not live with them.

There is only one Thomas Birchenough listed in 1881 and this is the one born in Wolaston.

There are no recorder marriages or deaths for Thomas.

There is one probable death for Thomas in 1888 in Oldham. I do know that one of his half brothers married in 1885 in Oldham and it is possible that Thomas moved there with them or near them.

If any other persons researching the Birchenoughs can spread any light on Thomas life I would appreciate your input.
