Have you any transcriptions for birth registrations for children for Thomas?  if so, what full address for the place/s of birth, and who was the 'midwife' etc...  I have fingers crossed Sarah may have assisted with birthing.

ADD, that type of clue helped me with one of my NSW families from that era.  I had family papers showing someone's aunt was often called upon to help nieces with their babies.  The birth certs had her as Mrs xyz, and the family papers had no mention of her marriage, but her own bible turned up and it had noted it was presented to her by her parents on the occasion of her marriage.  then the jigsaw started to work itself out.

no I have not sorry have not gone that far as yet but I will ask another family member if she has that information

   It can be a good back door way to overcome Rev Fullerton's shortcomings.      Don't go purchasing those birth documents just yet.  I have spare moments on Monday afternoon to go through some of my offline resources ... I cannot promise, but I will try to find further clues.

Do you have an occupation for Thomas rather than just 'labourer'? 

ADD, searching for females in second half of 19th century NSW can be tricky, and they seem to hide themselves away, particularly if spinsters, so   

do you have death certs for the 'likely' parents for Thomas ...  if so, what info is recorded about 'children of the marriage' ... and when did they die...  In other words, is Sarah named on the d.c....  if so, she would be alive at that time.

sarah Taylor died on the 25 May 1861 and was buried at Camperdown Cemetery  and on the death Cert it has the following
John   27
Thomas   25
Mary Ann  21
.Sarah  18
Elizabeth 16
Caroline 12
So it would have been Sarah as a witness to her brother wedding

can any one find anything on Caroline I have look at BDM and could not find anything
look on family search and still nothing and even try a different spelling

wait some thoughts from you guys

sarah Taylor died on the 25 May 1861 ...
John   27
Thomas   25
Mary Ann  21
.Sarah  18
Elizabeth 16
Caroline 12

Sarah was aged 26 in 1832,* so she was in her mid 40s when Caroline was born circa 1849.  It is likely that the younger sisters remained with their older siblings, but with the surname TAYLOR in NSW in the mid-late 19th century, you may be seeking to find a needle in a haystack.  I will continue to look through my offline resources, but as yet, I have not found anything positive to note. 

Fingers crossed others will have thoughts to share too.

"..sarah Taylor died on the 25 May 1861 …"

You need to list all the information on this death certificate please.
It is all important so do not leave out anything.
