Family homes at Swan Court, Wellington, 1851, and at Farthings Pitts, Wellington, 1861/81. Thomas does not appear on local 1861 census, when wife Mary erroneously shown as widow, or on 1871 when she was shown as wife, shopkeeper in 1881 she is correctly shown as widow, charwoman (deaf). Thomas's absence from his home address at the; 1861/71 censuses could possibly be explained if he was on the road in the course of his business as herbalist (see George 9 b 1842, this section, below). He is listed as shopkeeper at Farthings Pitts in 1872 and 1886 directories, presumably the business continued in his name after his death. Mary was a domestic servant at marriage, her father, George, a shepherd. Note the mass baptism of their first six children, the earliest traced Waygood baptisms in Wellington.

Living at South Street, Wellington, 1871, Nynehead 1877, Olands Buildings Wellington, 1881. In 1871 shown as pensioner (aged 44), agricultural labourer later. Probably a sailor in earlier days, like his brother Robert. Buried from Wellington workhouse, where death was recorded as of "Thomas", by which name he was presumably known (St. Catherine's House index shows Thomas to have been Richard). Appears identical with Thomas who in 1851 was shown as servant at the Workhouse, and whose birthplace was not recorded in the census; Richard's sister Eliza occupied a similar position at the time. No children of his marriage to Elizabeth Ann identified, but 32 Appendix A may relate and account for Elizabeth Ann's death at 44 years a few months later. Second marriage appears to have been to daughter of his sister Elizabeth, b 1823, the baptismal record in relation to their son, Charles Richard, showing his parents as "Richard/Mary Ann alias Cottrell".

Notes by local historian B.L. Thorne record that George, known as "Doctor Waygood", was a clever herbalist who travelled on foot over a wide area, visiting fairs and selling his medicines from door to door. He lived for many years in Butler's Row, Foxdown Hill, Wellington, and grew large quantities of herbs in his small Garden there. In summer he often slept under a hedge or in a haystack, always with eighteen pence in his pocket to avoid being charged as a vagrant for "sleeping-out without visible means of subsistence". He was a clever poacher and an expert in the art of tickling trout, and quite a naturalist also. On the only occasion he appeared on a poaching charge he was acquitted, and congratulated by magistrates for a masterly defence and his knowledge of the law. The historian's assessment, ''he was one of the outstanding figures of his day, and with the advantage of a modern education would have gone far.” He was not exclusively occupied as a herbalist, and is recorded as a labourer in the 1868/79 and 1883/5 periods. An early family home was at Oldway, Wellington, his wife was a factory worker at marriage, her father, Samuel, labourer. As a herbalist he was "following in his father's footsteps".
