Gavin,
I realise it was over three years ago you posted your request, but if you have not already found the information you were looking for the following may be of interest:
Mr F. Toms, 31, was born in Southampton, Hampshire.
Toms signed-on to the Titanic in Belfast as a steward on 1 April 1912. When he signed-on again in Southampton on 4 April 1912, he gave his address as Hillside Rd. B.P., (Southampton). As a steward he received monthly wages of £3 15s. He had transferred from the Olympic.
Toms was rescued in lifeboat 15.
Toms continued to work for White Star, he signed-on to the Oceanic on 10 July 1912.
