There were 9 Bray children baptised at Stoke between 1760 (Elizabeth) and 1776 (Lydia) with parents named T&EB. Sadly, one of those, baptised in 1766 was also named Thomas
I agree about nine baptisms between those dates for the children of T&EB. However, I don't see a Thomas?

Elizabeth 1760
Easter 1762
Jonathan 1765
Nathan 1765
John 1767
Elizabeth 1769
Richard 1772
James 1774
Lydia 1776

There is a Thomas Bray bap in 1766 but his parents are Jonathan and Elizabeth.

I would think

Mary 1754
Thomas 1756
William 1758

are also children of the same T&EB as the only marriage for a T to an E in these years is this one:

Name: Thomas Bray
Gender: Male
Marriage Date: 25 Oct 1753
Marriage Place: Holy Trinity,Coventry,Warwick,England
Spouse:
Elizabeth Collier

Without the extra TB baptised in 1766, I would have concluded that the TB born in 1730 (son of TB the butcher and Elizabeth Green) married another Elizabeth and was the father of all those children. That would easily bridge the 57 year gap.
So, as there doesn't seem to be a bap in 1766 (I did look through the PR images for the whole year) your original assumption would appear to be correct
