Thomas Thompson

Hello
I have a relative Thomas Thompson b.1853 who was married to Sarah Margaret Dickinson on 17 April 1881, which was a couple of weeks after the 1881 census. On the church certificate he puts his father as John Thompson is a ships carpenter but I don't know if he was living at the time of the marriage.

Thomas Thompson on the censuses 1881 to 1901 his birth is Maryport, Cumbria but in 1911 he writes Liverpool. I most inclined to believe the Liverpool as he wrote it. However I can’t find any record of his birth or find him on the 1861 and 1871 census.

I thought I had found his family on the 1851 census [see below] but Thomas doesn't appear in 1861 or 1871.
John Thompson Head Married Male 35 1816 Ship Carpenter Journeyman Maryport, Cumberland, England
Fanny Thompson Wife Married Female 36 1815 - Maryport, Cumberland, England
To be sure this wasn't his family I got Fanny Thompson’s will and Thomas wasn't mentioned.
Can you suggest how I might find Thomas? In later life he became a publican and I have found licence information with his name as landlord.

Thanking you in advance
Regards
David
