If the 1881 is "correct", then this is the 1891

And while I'm here, the 1901 ...

White Hart Lane (York Ter), Swaffham, Norfolk

And if this is "right", then this death index entry might be relevant

You'll find a few records to help you on the Norfolk Transcription Archive
http://www.genealogy.doun.org/transcriptions/index.php
This is basically a research aid consisting of indexes to parish registers, census returns, etc. You'll find Thomas baptised in 1823 under the name DODD, his parents appear to have maried in Foulden in 1822; some siblings are recorded too.

There are a couple of photos on the site too. From the home page, select 'Parishes' then 'F' and Foulden. You'll see an obvious link. The thumbnail images can be enlarged by clicking on them.
