Thomas lived all his 78 years in the parish of Worplesdon where he was an agricultural labourer. He was baptised at Worplesdon in 1733, youngest son of Richard & Mary SMITHERS, and married Elizabeth HALE there in 1761 when he was 28 years old. Thomas & Elizabeth baptised seven children at
Worplesdon parish church and from at least 1779 they were living at Perry Hil
in the centre of the village.
Elizabeth died in 1789 but Thomas remained at Perry Hill for another
23 years until he died in 1812. They
were both buried at Worplesdon |

There is only one suitable Thomas C at Worplesdon for the Thomas who m Elizabeth HALE there in 1761
C 22Jul1733 Thomas s Richard SMITHERS
this date agrees with the burial age of Thomas in 1812, and gives a marriage age of 28; there is little reason to doubt that this is the correct baptism, though the name Richard was not used for any of his children
James-SMITHERS 5 was baptised 25Jul1779 at Worplesdon son of Thomas & Elizabeth SMYTHER of Perry Hill. There is only one suitable Thomas/Elizabeth m at Worplesdon, and although this is some 18 years before the baptism, the intervening years have regular baptisms to these parents (including Henry - also used by James-5 for one of his sons). Little reason therefore to doubt that this is the correct marriage:

place names were given by abbreviations, PH for Perry Hill; no other example of W was found; it probably stands for Worplesdon; parts of the parish known as Wyke or West End, were spelled in full
