Your Thomas names a Child Beatrice.
The William LETHERBE/Beatrice RIDLER Marriage was 05 Nov 1773, St Mary the Virgin, East Quantoxhead, Somerset.
May fit as Nicholas's Parents given the Christian names.
It is possible that Nicholas was born c 1774 was the Father of THOMAS born c 1816. He would only be 42 when he was born.
This is an interesting 1861 Census;

I have looked for Nicholas in Census Records but think he may have died before 1841, and Amy also.
