Census of Ireland 1911. At the time of this census, Thomas' occupation was given as "Railway Inspector" and the family had 1 servant and 1 boarder.

At some later stage he became assistant manager of the Sligo and Leitrim Railway company and then, later, Mayor of Enniskillen.

There's an undated copy of a Sligo newspaper article recounting a banquet and presentation in honour of Thomas Algeo when he transferred from Sligo to head office (of the Sligo, Leitrim and Norther Counties Railway) in Enniskillen. Here's a summary:

• Had a "progressive railway career, climbing the ladder of success step by step with marked ability".
• Entered the railway service as a goods checker.
• Promoted to foreman at the Enniskillen Goods Station.
• Next step was station master at Forencecourt.
• Subsequently transferred to Dromahair.
• Then promoted to Traffic Inspector.
• His wife is the daughter of another highly respected railwayman, Mr Stockdale, stationmaster at Manorhamilton.
• Very active in Masonic circles and a member of the Constitutional Club and other societies.
• A prominent oarsman in "old-time boating circles".

Some say that, due to his staunch Unionism, he broke off relations with his daughter, Molly, and never spoke to her again after she married a Catholic. However, both Molly and her husband are reported to have attended his funeral.

Thomas Algeo can be seen in his role as Mayor at age 85 in a video of King Leopold of Belgium visiting the 5th Dragoon in Enniskillen in 1956.
