Thomas PIDGEON was the second son of John PIDGEON and Esther RICH, who were married at Hatfield, where Thomas was born, (see the PIDGEONs of Hertfordshire-1).  Thomas and his brothers moved to Edmonton in north London, and it was at nearby Chingford that Thomas married Susan WARWICK.

The baptism of their eldest son Thomas has not been found.  However, the marriage certificate of Thomas junior and Eliza LOVETT says his father was Thomas, a horse keeper.
