East Cemetery Burials do have him as Thomas Wear Douglas and he was of Wynd House. He also appears in the GRO death index with his full name.

He seems to have been the son of Robert and Ann Douglas. He started out his employment as a merchant seaman before turning to building work. On the 1871 census Thomas is at home in Walkers Buildings, age 25, a stone mason. His father's uncle is a Thomas Wear and is living with the family, working as a mason's labourer.

Robert Douglas (born Scotland) married an Ann Wear in 1847.
