Migration
He and 3 other men named Wilbore (John, Richard, and Nicholas) moved from the West Riding of Yorkshire to Essex about 1500, presumably because their labor as clothiers and drapers was not well-rewarded in Yorkshire, and they expected to become wealthier in Essex, which at least Thomas apparently did[2].
Family
It is not entirely clear why Wilbour[1] tentatively attributed 3 Wilbore children to Thomas, as opposed to the other Wilbore men who immigrated to Essex as about the same time.
