Ian,

Thanks for letting us know and giving the information about the parents,
it's gratifying when a chance posting connects with someone. Is this the
family in 1871?

Rotherhithe is very close to Bermondsey, Surrey; I'm not aware of a
Bermondsey in Sussex. Thomas as as master mariner should have more records
about him at The National Archives.
