Have you found them on any census?

This is the nearest birth for Thomas H. Holbrook that I can see:-

HOLBROOK, THOMAS HENRY mmn ALVEY

This looks like the marriage of the parents of the above:-

First name(s) Thomas
Last name Holbrook
Marriage year 1822
Marriage date 24 Dec 1822
Marriage place Lenton
Church St Anthony
Denomination Anglican
Spouse's first name(s) Elizabeth Sarah

If the 1871 census posted by Nyx is the correct one then Thomas and Mary are married to each other and not brother and sister, and Thomas gives no middle initial when marrying:-


First name(s) THOMAS
Last name HOLBROOK
