The two men both supported the Marlow branch of the Bucks Volunteers. Thomas won their shooting challenge cup for 2 years in a row.
Thomas died of bronchitis. He had been an invalid for some time before that.
Thirza worked as a dressmaker after her marriage but was a servant prior to that. She grew up in Oxford Road Marlow, while her husband was from Wiltshire.
The couple's single known child was Thomas junior who went on to be a clerk at the Wethered family brewery in the High Street.
