Carole Fife has provided the following:
Thomas born in Amble to John and Jane, and his father was a miner. The family was living at Radcliffe Colliery near Acklington at the times of the 1901 and 1911 censuses, but then moved south to work at Netherton Colliery, where they were living at 4, Plessey Street. His legatee was his father John which would indicate that he wasn't married. He was only 19 when he died so he did well to become a serjeant.
He is remembered in Bedlington on B15.07 and B15.26 page 108
