Gary ,hi,,,,,
oh what a shame,,, the 1885 looks not too bad he would only be 30 or just 31 in 1916,,the 1900 would make him only 16,,,!

But just to be on the safe side,,he may only have Thomas at reg and E was added at baptizm?and born anywhere,,,

Gary,
It would be better to try and get the marriage cert then you would have 100% proof of having your right man,,
