  Thomas' US naturalization record states that he was born in Ferryland District, Newfoundland, on the 24th of May 1870. Other records claim he was born in 1871, but 1870 appears to be the correct year. Surviving baptism records for Ferryland Roman Catholic Parish start about November 1870, hence the reason why Thomas' baptism entry is absent from these records.
