Thomas was born into the Cotman family of artists. His parents were Henry Edmund Cotman (1802–1871), formerly a Norwich silk merchant and his wife Maria Taylor (1813–1895).[1] His elder brother was Henry Edmund Cotman (1844–1914) also born in London, but his younger brother, Frederick George Cotman was born in Ipswich whither the family had moved.
