They had

John bap.10/11/1737 had an unknown wife and married outside of Oxfordshire

Elizabeth baptised 19/4/1761 Bicester
William bapt 4/12/1763 Bicester.

William Thomas was buried Bicester 26/12/1788
John Thomas was buried Bicester 12/8/1813 from the Workhouse aged 75 yrs.

If this turns out to be your family you could improve the siblings of the above.

David,
Syresham is actually only about 8 miles from Bicester, so it may be a possibility.

There also an entry for Northamptonshire:

William Thomas:
Christened: 16 MAR 1761, Wappenham, Northampton, England
Father: William Thomas
Mother: Jane
Married: abt 1783

Wappenham is quite close to Syresham.

This is a member submitted record, so maybe not as reliable as an extracted record (which the post above was).
