Notes - Ancestry - As per research by B Durston: Upon the death of Thomas' parents, James Dewbury in 1884 & Mary Ann's in 1886, their boys were left homeless. James William & Albert Arthur went to live with a spinster Aunt Eleanor Dewbury. Thomas & William Henry went to Uncle George until he spent the money sent for them to be raised & he put them out on the street where they ended up at Barnardo's children house, where they were sent to Canada to work for farmers in Ontario.
- Thomas left Liverpool, England on 19 June 1890 on the SS Circassion for Canada. He arrived 2 Jul 1890. His first placement was with Robert W. Morrison, a wagon builder at Farewell. But Thomas was too small to do the work for which he would be training and Mr Morrison offered to find him another place in the area; Barnado's agreed to this move for Thomas. On 11 July 1890 - Mr. Robert Allen (ID #I764) wrote to Barnado's that Thomas had been transferred to him. He offered to provide Thomas with his board and clothing and to send him to school for two years; Barnado's agreed to this for Thomas. But although Thomas was in good health he was slightly built and Robert could not keep him on. Thomas eventually ended up in the home of William & Margory Allen, where he was treated as a son. He grew up with Rachel and her siblings. (B Durston)
- It was said that Thomas and his brother, William (who also was sent to Canada) had frequent opportunities of seeing each other as they both lived in the same neighbourhood. And apparently Thomas' brother, Albert Arthur, did come to Canada to look for his brothers but never found them. (B Durston)
