Hi Emma, could thomas and sarah not be his parents

[Emsworthy]

Could be, it's just he's out of order with the other children's ages - could be an error by the enumerator or could be a cousin?

Have you got a birth certificate for any of the children?   That will show Sarah's maiden name and hopefully help you to find their marriage.
