Following on from Sheera:
Thomas is not listed in the 1841 or 1845 birmingham directories, but:
1849 Post Office Dir. Hemming Thos. cabinet case maker, 17 Court, Steelhouse la
1849 Whites Dir. Hemming Thos., cabinet mkr., 34, Warner street
1855 PO Dir. Hemmimg Thomas 2 court, Russell St
1858 Dix Dir, Hemming Thos., cabinet and guncase mkr,ct 2, Russell st; h, Green In
1862 Corpor. Dir. Hemming Thos., cabinet maker, Upper Priory; h, Green In
No mention in 1867, 68 or 72 directories
Note there was another (well presumably another) thomas who was a beer retailer around 1851-55
