He married Alice Hemmant of Whittlesea.

His will was dated 23 August, 1694 and proved 12 September following.
His wife pre-deceased him.

AJ Aveling Thomas made his will in 1694 in which he mentions a daughter Elizabeth Speechley (married Robert Speechley 26th March 1693) and a daughter Frances. He also mentions a sister, Frances Hemant who must in fact have been his sister-in-law Frances Hemmant who made her will on 1st February 1710 in which she describes herself as a spinster. She also mentions her nephews and nieces, the children of Thomas. Thomas also mentions a William Hemmant.

Thomas was the 4th son of Ralph Aveling and Elizabeth Kelfull. He married Alice Hemmant at Fletton on May 5th 1669. He bought the property at Low Cross from Luke Salmon and Elizabeth his wife on March 16th 1677. His cousin William Aveling bought the ajoining property from William Burnham on April 24th 1679. both these properties can be traced down 316 years to the present owner Mr Oldfield a member of the Whittlesey Historical Society.

It was Jean Clucas who descends from Thomas who searched the Manor Rolls and found the above information about the properties in Low Cross to be correct.
