In the 1851 census Ann and Thomas are living at Gallops House, Westmeston, Sussex. Thomas is a farmer of 40 acres.
In 1861 they are in nearby Barcombe farming 52 acres.
By 1871 they have moved upwards and eastwards to Stone Cross Farm, Laughton, 250 acres employing 6 men and 2 boys.
1891 finds them at Pesketts Farm, Lindfield.
In 1901 Thomas is with daughter Naomi at Chiddingly.

One slight puzzle over son Caleb. In 1871 he is living with Ann and Thomas at Laughton with his wife Harriett and a newborn son Thomas.
In 1881 son Thomas is still at Laughton, Harriett is back with her parents in Lewes (1881248) and there is no sign of Caleb.
In 1891 Harriett is a barmaid in Eastbourne, still shown as married. (189182)

The family were Baptists, there was a memorial to Ann and Thomas surviving at the Newick Zion Chapel.
Ann died in 1896, Thomas died in 1920 at the age of 96.
