There are three entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Thomas Brown Heavers born in Lowestoft, Suffolk in 1827, his marriage to Fanny Elizabeth Sarah Ann Wattson on 8 October 1855 at Poplar All Saints, and his three sons. There is a similar entry for Thomas Heavers, and another for Thomas Heavers which gives his wife as Fanny. Another gives his parents as John Heavers and Fanny Elizabeth Sarah Ann Wattson/Mattson.
I cannot find an entry in the 1851 census, or his death, but his wife married Mark Wood in Ontario, Canada in 1873 so I assume he died before then - he is not in any of the later censuses.
Thomas Brown Heavers was the father of John Thomas Heavers, husband of Clara Elizabeth Cowles, my grandaunt.
