Birth
Thomas Reed was born in August 1765 in Chorlton.1,2,3,4 He was baptized on 30 August 1765 at St Mary and All Saints church in Whitmore, Staffordshire. There are two possible baptism records for Thomas Reed. The first was the son of Thomas Reed and Elizabeth Hemmings and was baptised on 27 September 1767 at the Church of St Mary and All Saints in Trentham. This is where all of Thomas's children were to be later baptised. But this
baptism occurred two years after Thomas was born (based on the information recorded on his death certificate); and the child was probably born at Hanchurch, not Chorlton (which Thomas nominated as his birthplace on the 1851 census). So, it is more likely that our Thomas was baptised on 30 August 1765 at the church of St Mary and All saints at Whitmore (3 miles closer to Chorlton than Hanchurch). If so, his parents were William Reed and Sarah Martin who had been married at Stoke on Trent on 26 December 1764. They had three other children (Ann 1767; William 1771-1772; and William2,1
