I wonder if you've read any of the beginners' guides eg

or

You know the birthplace so you now have to use the parish registers for that place. They appear to have been filmed so you don't even have to visit Cambridgeshire to do it!

Before you go too far in looking through the parish records, I think you need to know there are THREE Thomas Searles in Whittlesey on the 1841 census, of more or less the right age. There may also be clues to their parents...

In London Street (HO 107/82/2) there is:
Thomas Searle, 39, baker, born in county
Ann Searle, 39, born in county
Thomas Searle, 11, born in county
Ann Searle, 9, born in county
Alice Searle, 7, born in county
James Searle, 5, born in county
Elizabeth Searle, 3, born in county
Ellen Searle, 1 month, born in county

In Finkle Lane, Low Cross (HO 107/82/1) there is:
John Searle, 35, machine man, born in county
Mary Searle, 35, born in county
Elizabeth Searle, 15, born in county
William Searle, 13, born in county
Martha Searle, 12, born in county
John Searle, 10, born in county
Thomas Searle, 8, born in county
Ann Searle, 6, born in county
Hannah Searle, 4, born in county

Then there is the one who was aged 6:
In Whitmore Street (HO 107/82/3):
James Searle, 46, ag lab, born in county
Ann Searle, 45, born in county
James Searle, 19, born in county
Samuel Searle, 17, born in county
Robert Searle, 12, born in county
Mary Ann Searle, 9, born in county
Thomas Searle, 6, born in county
Alice Searle, 3, born in county
Eliza Searle, 1, born in county

Hope this helps - but not too much to ruin your enjoyment of hunting more details for yourself.

Hmm the other two did not turn up in my search - must check that again.

The way forward would be to buy the marriage certificate for Thomas (I assume he married) and this will give the name and occupation of the father.

Guessing just won't do - well not for me anway. I like proof.
