Died on: 20 Feb 1860 at: Corbridge, Northumberland, England
It is not known why Thomas moved to the other end of England as a young man but there is a family legend that sheep stealing was involved, which was a capital offence in those days, a good enough reason to move from Hampshire to Northumberland. Thomas was an Innkeeper at Corbridge at the Hostlery known as The Angel Inn. This Inn is still there in Main Street. George BLANDFORD who died in the Royal Oak fire (1898)was born (17.10.1841) at the Angel Inn. This photo of the Inn is c. 1910.
