I looked at the Griffiths Valuation head of household listing and there were only 10 Countys listed for all of Ireland : 9 in Cork and 1 in Kerry. The survey was conducted in Cork in 1852 and Tipperary in 1850.
I also looked at www.familysearch.org and found the 1868 death index record for Thomas County in Thurles (which you already have) but I also found an 1864 marriage index record for a Thomas County in Thurles (below). I assume it is the same person. You can write to the GRO to get a copy of the record www.groireland.ie Fill out their form, provide the year, registration district (Thurles) and the volume and page number (18 and 559). Costs around 4 euros.
