Thomas' birth year is in question. 1921 Census for Three Arms says he was born at Three Arms in May 1854. The baptism records (PANL Vital Statistics #91) say he was baptized September 6, 1846, age 7 years. His tombstone suggests he was born in 1857. Queen Milley reported he was born in 1839.

1921 Census for Three Arms says Eliza was born at Nipper's Harbour in May 1853.

Thomas and Eliza's headstone is on Three Arms island.

John and Elsie are buried at Jackson's Cove. Their headstones.
