Tooze family - Holcombe Rogus

My own line I have mapped to Thomas, born about 1750, who married a Dorothy, and had a son Thomas, born 1776. I would like to put the many family members into context, and take the line back farther. Why is the churchyard so badly maintained, and why are there no Tooze stones, as they were not paupers? They are now one of the counties recognised and respected Chairmaking families.

According to his marriage cert, when he married Elizabeth, he was a widower, If anybody could find a previous marriage for him (possibly to Mary Sharland), I would be most grateful.
