Thomas Kerfoot RICHMOND

Thomas was born in Kings Cliffe in 1841. By the time of the 1851 census Thomas and his brother Samuel were living with their KERFOOT grandmother, shown as John and Elizabeth CUNNINGTON in Workhouse Lane, Kings Cliffe. It would appear that Elizabeth KERFOOT, now a widow, had married John CUNNINGTON in Jun 1842 (Oundle 15/413):

In 1861 Thomas was now apprenticed to a tailor living in Crown Lane, Stamford.

By 1871, Thomas K. has vanished, he may have emigrated.
