Notes
a. Note:   Thomas was born at 2:15 p.m. to John Thomson, Railway Surface-man and Helen nee Oliver. (See birth certificate)
  Thomas served as a warder for 4 years from 1907 till 1911, first at Barlinnie in Shettleston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire and then at Porterfield, Inverness.
 The following was copied from HMP Inverness website.
 Her Majesty's Prison Inverness where Thomas Thomson was working from 1907 or 1908 till 1911:
 The present prison was opened in 1902, having relocated from nearby Inverness Castle to what was, at that time, the rural parish of Porterfield. There were 25 male and 10 female prisoners in accommodation comprising of 49 cells. Throughout its subsequent history the prison has had a mixed population of men and women, convicted and untried prisoners.
 The original cells were barely furnished. Prison labour was used to build the establishment. Subsequent employment included oakum picking, sack sewing and mat making, as well as maintenance of the prison estate and further building work. Physical drills and Bible classes punctuated the week. There is no mention in the records of 1903 of learning centres nor fitness centres such as those provided today. Programmes to address offending behaviour did not feature either, although perhaps the Chaplain (who "states that he spends upwards of 2 hours weekly in the prison") and Mrs Werner, the "Lady Visitor" took such a role upon themselves.
 The first Governor, John Nicol, had a house built for himself within the walls. Two houses were additionally erected for "married warders" (this would be where Thomas and Mary were living) and "female warders" had quarters provided too ? supplied with drainage, gas, water and service pipes.
  Thomas was a witness at his brother Robert's wedding in 1902.
  Tom was registered by the Canada Registration Board on 22 June 1918 and the number given him was 166 26 222.
