Notes - The 1841 and '51 censuses and Thomas's burial all agree that he was born in 1772-73. The 1851 census says he was from Hythe, but there is no suitable baptism in either Fawley or Dibden; the 1841 census says he was not born in the county.
- There was seemingly another Thomas and Sarah Smith in Exbury, who were having children baptised in Fawley parish at the same time as this Thomas and Sarah. The three children attributed here to the other couple were all stated as being from Exbury in the register. Henry, Sarah, Jane and the second James were all baptised in Dibden and therefore are almost certainly the Hythe family; and Henry seems to have taken his father's occupation, being a butcher in Hythe. Elizabeth was living with her father in Hythe on the 1841 and '51 censuses, as was Jane in 1841. William, Elizabeth and the first James all identify the mother as née Martell, and as Elizabeth is known to be of the Hythe family, we can infer the rest were too. This just leaves the parentage of the Thomas baptised in 1806 unclear. However, as the Exbury family also had a son called Thomas (baptised 1802), and there's no indication he died young, it seems most likely the 1806 baptism is for the Hythe family.
