Notes for THOMAS VERNON:

Name on death certificate and in Burial Register appears as 'Saint' Thomas Vernon.

In 1841 Census, he states he is not from the County of Surrey.

from Old Mitcham - Village Anecdotes by J.R.Chart ref RM681 & RM 682 bound together, Merton Local Studies Centre:

The fonts of the galleries [of Mitcham's new Parish Church] were carved in solid oak. The carving was done by Mr Vernon, my grandfather's head carpenter, and took twelve months. ... The carved work of the front of the galleries may be seen in a photograph I took in 1861 by the wet process (dry plates were only just coming in). ... When the church was finished, they had no organ, but used a string band. Mr Vernon, the head carpenter, was one of the violins of the orchestra, and a good player too.

The Churchwarden accounts for Mitcham, held at Surrey History Centre, Woking, (ref: P40/3/4, 1825-1870) show that on Dec 8, 1826 he was paid £3:18s for psalm books.

In 1832, the property owned by Daniel Garraway in which Thomas Vernon lived was passed to his granddaughter: (SHC K18/4/4)

I do will and bequeath to my Grand-daughter Charlotte Rebecca Garraway all that copyhold part freehold estate purchased from General Hibbert situate and being in the Upper Green in the parish of Mitcham in the County of Surrey to her and heirs for ever.
