  • Notes 
    • He served his time, as a Shipwright's Carpenter, with Brown Shipbuilders, Leith. Also joined the Royal Scot 7/9th Territorials.
      He went to London and nothing more was heard of him. A member of the family went to the address that he had been staying at, in London, but it had been levelled by bombs during the blitz.
      In 2012 a marriage cert was discovered for Thomas in Kettering. This was his second marriage.

      The informant on the death of Thomas, in 1958, was his second wife, Violet Scadden
