Is Thomas another sibling and when did he marry? No time for me to look.
Thomas looks very likely to be a sibling of John and William and so possibly a sibling of Sophia. Thomas is aged 33 in 1851 and b Princes Risborough. His wife, Jane nee Bowler, is 31. (Her mother Rebecca Hughes is with them in 1851 but Rebecca had remarried in 1830). Thomas and Jane had a son who died as a baby named Owen and a couple of years later John Loosley and Mary Lane named a son Owen too, so that's two relatively unusual forenames coming up in both families.

In 1851 Thomas and Jane's eldest child appears to be Susannah Loosley aged 11, but in 1841 Thomas is not with Jane Bowler and Jane is living with various Bowler/Hughes individuals and also her daughter, Susannah Bowler aged 5 months. So it looks like if Thomas and Jane married it should have been between 1841 and 1851.

EDIT Found it at last!:

Marriages Dec 1846***
Bowler Jane Wycombe 6 811
Looseley Thomas Wycombe 6 811

So, if you think Sophia, John and Thomas Loosley are siblings then this marriage cert would give you Sophia's father's name and occ.
