No problem !

I presume that belief is based upon the Census info, which can sometimes be wrong ?

Apart from the records I've posted, assuming they're correct of course, do you have any more records that may guide us ?.

I see there are other (older) Thomas and Sarah FOXs in the Coleford area c1800 as well as ours, have you looked to try and build a wider tree ? Maybe some clues there ??

for example, clearly not "our" Sarah, but ??;

I expect you probably already have the following records, but included for completeness, plus of course they may give some more clues eg does Sarah end her days living with one of her children, and does that Census record specify her birthplace ??

Think this is "our" Thomas

Don't understand why I cannot find Thomas in the 1861 Census ??

Similarly cannot find any more records for Eleanor/Elinor/Helena etc in PRs or Familysearch census records ??
