I think to find Thoms parents it would be best to get the marriage cert which will give you his father and his father occupation etc.

Thank you both for your replies. Yes I think that I will have to get Marriage cert to prove parents. Yes Jane, Green is a very common name
Thank you once again.
Alan.
Yes you will be better getting the cert. But I have just been having a root about and this looks promising.
Thomas is a cooper ( the only Thomas I could find that was a cooper from Wigan) and he did seem to stick with the same occupation.

Yes Green is a popular rather than common surname. Particularly in Wigan which is apparently the top location in the UK for the name. Funnily enough when I worked for Wigan Corporation (as it was then called) in the late sixties I don't recall coming across the name often. However I worked for the Housing Dept and in those days you had to show that you were an upright citizen to get a council house (how times have changed) so maybe not many Greens qualified!

Is it not strange that six of the top twelve names on Jane's list are generally considered to be Welsh surnames given that the population of Wales is a fraction of that of England?
The site I have used is http://www.britishsurnames.co.uk It is interesting rather than helpfull.
PS Only kidding about common.
Rimmer is featured Dotty, how could it not be, and they seem to have got it right. To quote from the site: RIMMER-Great Britain top postal town-Southport
