I can't find him in the 1850 US census or any London baptism record of a Thomas H. Corbett born around 1832. I'm assuming the record of Corbett's marriage to his wife Susan is held by some local church if it still exists which I can't easily access online. But it's strange that I can't find anything else earlier than 1855 or any mention of Corbett's family (mother, father, siblings) in the U.S. if he immigrated as a child like his biography suggests.

The most extensive research that I know anyone has done has come through Steve Miller. Unfortunately, we have lost contact with each other.
