Best indication of place of birth is 1851,1861 and 1871 censuses which state Thealby. 1881 census gives birthplace as Nettleton. Both the age and place of birth are suspect in this census.

Date of birth varies: -
1851 census - 1821/2
1871 census - 1820/1
1881 census - 1813/4 (suspect)
1891 death - 1811/2 (maybe incorrect since his death was not registered by a relative). The probability is that he was born in 1820 to 1822.

According to the censuses Thomas Driffill was born at Thealby and according to his marriage certificate his father was Samuel Driffill. Thomas' baptism is not recorded as such in the Burton upon Stather register (Burton upon Stather is the church for Thealby) but there is a Thomas Duffill with no parents given. There was also a Thomas Mantley Driffill baptised at Burton on Stather in 1818, the parents being Samuel Driffill and Ann Maria Driffill (Mankell). This is most likely to be him. (There was also a daughter, Rebecca, baptised 20/01/1816).There was a Samuel Driffill at Nettleton in 1851. This is where Thomas also lived. This Samuel cannot be located in later censuses. The baptism of a Samuel Driffill at Burton upon Stather on a date which is consistent with the age given on later censuses (1792) suggests that this is the same Samuel Driffill.

There is no listing of Thomas Driffill or Driffield in the 1841 census for the whole of North Lincolnshire, or for Yorkshire where his future wife lived, which satisfies all the data. This includes Epworth where he was married.

NBI records age as 79, ie born 1812.

Thomas married Martha Middleton on 03 Dec 1850 in Epworth, Lincolnshire. Martha (daughter of Philip Middleton and Mary Brown) was born in 1830 in Tickhill, Yorkshire; died on 08 Mar 1908 in Hatcliffe, Lincolnshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At time of marriage lived at Epworth.
A witness at the marriage was Mary Fretwell, 47, born at Tickhill! She was most likely her half sister.

Notes:

Married at Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Epworth.
Unnamed male child born at Caistor, December quarter 1864, 7a 594. This child very likely to be son of Thomas and Martha Driffill.
All Diffill/Driffield births at Caistor checked from S-1853 to J-1871. Not likely that there were any more.
