Baptisms in the earlier years don't give the mother
Using FamilySearch to look for Bourne baptisms in Barthomley 1750-90, father John, no mother specified, gives these:
Thomas, 5 Dec 1773;
Ann, 6 Aug 1775;
James, 9 Jan 1780;
Robert, 21 June 1782;
Plus the ones you have. (Seems to me there should be a birth in 1777 if this is all one family)
(I take it you already know that Susan's baptism includes her grandparents? Indeed a couple of GG-GFs!)
Is Thomas Bourne, bap to John & Sarah 13 Aug 1803, born to the couple you're interested in? Because the Audley FHS transcript of the Barthomley registers describes the father as John Bourne JUNIOR.
Re the 1803 Marriage Licence - John Bourne, farmer of the parish of Barthomley and William Bourne, farmer of Weston in the parish of Wybunbury sign the marriage bond.
On the 1803 marriage, the witnesses are Thomas Bennion, Mary Bennion and Robert Bourne. (Plus John Lunt, the parish clerk). All, plus bride and groom, sign their names.
Don't want to worry you but there is a John Bourne baptised to James Bourne on 5 Jan 1781, plus John to Robert & Mary on 26 Dec 1784, though he ought to be too late.
