Did you check Family Search www.familysearch.org? Possible for Robert but nothing for Thomas
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPWT-89HT
Are either of them on the 1851 census?
If not - have you checked freebmd to establish their ages at death - 1841 ages were rounded down to the nearest 5yrs. www.freebmd.org.uk
Ages can be checked here using the freebmd reference

EDIT
Robert died March qtr 1848 aged 76 - nothing for Thomas

there's a baptism that could fit the age at burial for Robert - 29 Aug 1773 son of Robert & Joan
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPWT-89HT
but the same couple have a son called Robert baptised 14 Dec 1783
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP4T-2LKM
Is this your Thomas in 1851?
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGPQ-5TV
Possible burial 15 July 1860 aged 85
More than one possible baptism in Burlescombe
7 April 1775 son of William & Alice
25 Dec 1777 son of Robert & Joan
There's also a possible burial for one of the Thomases - 7 Oct 1831 aged 55 and he was a sawyer.
