That is him, Liz, but as I say we cannot find him as a youngster or his birth year. It don't appear to be listed on any of the sites I have looked at.

1841 - Parish of Hartlebury

Upper Mitton

Thomas Birch - 55 - labourer ag.
Mary Birch - 55
Johny Birch - 20 - labourer ag.
Thomas Birch - 10

The 10 year old Thomas Birch was living nextdoor but one to Edward on the 1861 census.
