GENUKI explains that St. Thomas Street (occasionally St. Thomas Hamlet) was a rural section of the larger St. Thomas the Apostle parish. It became an enumeration district in the 1841 and 1851 censuses. Whether or not births, marriages and deaths were recorded as occurring in St. Thomas Street is unknown.
For further information, see St. Thomas the Apostle and Launceston where there is a sketch-map of the local area.
