Thomas Pratt was baptised on 29th July 1810 at Willian in Hertfordshire, son of Elizabeth Pratt, formerly Copps, and her husband John Pratt, a labourer.

Thomas's father died in 1826, when Thomas was sixteen years old.

On 3rd November 1832, aged 22, Thomas married Ann Aldridge. She was from the neighbouring parish of Graveley, and they married there and lived there for the first few years after their marriage, having five children baptised there between 1832 and 1843. Their first child was baptised the day after their marriage, making it likely that he was actually born before their marriage.

Back in Willian, Thomas's mother died in 1839.

The 1841 census finds Ann, Thomas, their children and some of Ann's siblings living in Graveley.

Some time between 1843 and 1846 the family returned to Willian, having another four children baptised there between 1846 and 1857. Thomas worked as an agricultural labourer, whilst Ann was a straw plaiter.

Thomas died in 1877, aged 66. He was buried at Willian on 22nd March 1877. Ann survived him by 22 years.
