Assuming this theory is correct Thomas was five foot five and three eighths inches tall with dark brown hair, brown/grey eyes and a fresh complexion. He gave his occupation as labourer.
he served on several ships including HMS Impregnable, HMS Ganges, HMS Boscawen, HMS Vivid I, HMS Marsey and HMS Ramillilo. He served initially as a boy ending as a ordinary seaman. He was of good charector.5 He died on 1 December 1896 in Malta Hospital, Malta, aged 16 from enteric fever and is probably buried under the name he went to sea under that being George Thomas Turmaine.5
