The Land Tax Assessments show Thomas Eaton in St Michael, Wood Street until 1767/68 when the name becomes Widow Eaton. No record of the burial of her husband at St Michaels. A Thomas Eaton was buried in St James , Paddington on 10th September 1766 but he is described as "of this Parish" i.e St James. He almost certainly died in late 1766 - see below.

Goldsmiths Hall Court Book 16, page 397
