Rebecca must be an error. Thompson married Elizabeth Glover in 1820, and he was a minor then, so could not have been married earlier. Perhaps it was an extra-marrital affair. There are no marriages for Thompson Folds and Rebeccas that fit.
Ann on the 1841 census, but Mary Ann is the correct name. She was witness at Johns marriage. Also, records her father as Thompson on her marriage.

Assumed died or married by 1851 and missing from census, but may have married.
