FamilySearch has two baptisms for a Thomas Peacock in Bedfordshire in 1747, but neither has a father called Thomas:

Thomas, son of William and Sarah Peacock, baptised 12 April 1747, Riseley.

Thomas, son of John and Mary Peacock, b. 15 Aug 1747 and baptised 30 Aug 1747, Kempston.

There is a Thomas Peacock, son of Thomas and Mary, baptised in Lower Gravenhurst on 6 March 1737, but that seems a little early?  I see that Thomas married Mary Litchfield in 1793.

Ancestry isn't the best place to look for this type of information. Use the IGI at www.familysearch.org where virtually all Beds baptisms and marriages pre 1813 are extracted

Did Thomas and Mary (Litchfield) have children who survived? If Mary was the one baptised in 1772 then she would have been much younger than her husband if he was born 1740 +/- 10. Are you sure you haven't skipped a generation?

Where are John & Mary in 1841.    OK they are in Riseley ..

I can see a Mary of the right age and a widow in 1851 with son Bela and grandaughter Lavinia Todd Peacock in Riseley but in 1841 she is with a James Peacock    The christening of Bela does however give father as Johannes    Had a better look at census and probably does say Johannes

I think you need to start at the marriage of Johannes Peacock and Mary Dickins on 15 Jan 1822 at Riseley. I don't have very much confidence in anything you show before this.

Johannes Peacock was buried age 50 in Riseley in 1849. He appears in Riseley in 1841 age 40 ie age 40-45. I can't find a baptism for him. How have you established that he was the son of Thomas and Mary (Litchfield) Peacock?
