How sure are you that the 1790 marriage was the original Thomas? Does the parish register describe him as a widower? There's no Sarah Hooker buried anywhere in Beds between 1766 and 1808. On the face of it, it looks more likely that the 1790 marriage was of their son Thomas christened 1760. It begs the question as to who the Thomas's were who married in Caddington in 1799, 1811, 1826 and 1829. As there's a Sarah Tyler baptised in Caddington in 1807 which may have been the Sarah Tyler who married in 1829 I very much doubt if her husband was the son of the original Thomas and Sarah as he would have been 69 by then! The 1841 census shows Thomas Hooker age 35 and Sarah 30 in Caddington, and there's a burial in Caddington on 25 July 1844 of Sarah Hooker age 37. He's more likely to have been the Thomas, son of Samuel and Mary baptised in 1806. It looks as though you may have rolled 3 generations into 2. There are simply too many Thomas Hooker events in Caddington to sort them out from the IGI/NBI, or even from the transcription which doesn't include marriage witnesses and only goes up to 1812. You really need to check the microfilm at your nearest LDS Family History Centre . Who for example was Thomas Hooker aged 39 who was baptised in Caddington in 1817? There's nothing obvious on the IGI for either Sarah Kilby or Sarah Pales. Reference to Flamstead, Herts parish register for the 1861 marriage may give the parish of residence of both Sarah and Thomas, plus witnesses which may provide a clue. For ag labs I think you can rule out divorces. They just went down the road to London and remarried bigamously!
