Hmmm, if I understand your first post properly, and if I'm looking at the right people, Thomas's son James is a Coal Agent in Sutton on the 1881 census age 26 and born Sutton, then looking back at the 1871 he is age 17 and in Sutton with parents Thomas 51 Cotton Sizer and Farmer born Sutton, and Mary Ann 51 born Sutton. Thomas and Mary Ann's eldest son on the 1871 is John age 24, i.e. born 1846-7, so Thomas can't be the same Thomas who was baptised in 1835 as he was 16 on the 1851 census. In 1861 Thomas and Mary Ann are at Sutton both aged 42, and in 1851 still at Sutton age 32.
This looks likely to be the right Thomas in 1841, at Sutton, but you would be best to work back one step at a time with certificates to make sure you follow the right people:
James Berry 50 Sizer N
Ann Do 50 Y
Martha Do 25 Y
Ellen Do 25 Y
Thomas Do 20 Sizer Y
Hanah Do 15 Y
John Do 13 Ag Lab Y
James Do 5 Y
