Wow,

These Croome and Thomas families are interesting. Thanks for all the research help everyone.

It seems clear now that Daniel senior married Ann(e) in London and they moved (back) down to Gloucestershire. They had a son Daniel, and Ann died sometime before 1861. After that Daniel senior certainly lived with a Catherine Lizzie, according to census records until he died in late 1881. However, there doesn't seem to be any obvious record of their marriage in Gloucestershire in the appropriate period. I think it's unlikely that Catherine Lizzie is Eliza, as there are other marriage records of an Eliza Thomas from St Briavels that would seem to match our Eliza (born 1829ish).

Perhaps if I try to track Albert Daniel Thomas from 1880 to 1910, I may find another clue. After all, he was my starting point for this. I might also try other children of John Thomas and Catherine Parry. Maybe the Trades directories for the time will hold some clues.

Looking forward to piecing together the whole picture.
