As Thomas Traynor was buried on a Common Grave at Weaste, he probably has no Headstone.  I have can find no strong connection with current relatives.

Thomas Traynor's commemoration has been rejected.
We relied on the penison card statement that TB was attibutable.  There is nothing to contradict this statement.
An Old Contemptible remains in the cold.
