Margery was Thomas' second wife. He married Elner in 1697 (no maiden name in LDS), and they also had a girl Elner, who presumably died before 1700. That's all there is in the LDS for the first marriage.
An interesting question is whether the Thomas who married Eleanor at Ford in 1682 could be related. Ford  is about 25 miles N of South Newton, but the bondholder comes from Salisbury, only about four miles east of South Newton.
Winterbourne Stoke is about five miles North of South Newton. These baptisms below do not look directly relevant?

Research Notes

 LDS and FHO do not have the marriage to Margery. So we have no maiden name for Margery either. Cannot find a baptism for Thomas, though there is a marriage of  Thomas Downton to  Alc Fox in Woodford 1636. Woodford is two miles from South Newton, so they are likely grandparents
If you Google "Thomas Downton" + Woodford + Wiltshire you find  a Thomas Downton who is allegedly HRH Charles's 21-Great Grandfather, Lady Diana's 22-Great Grandfather, PM Churchill's 20-Great Grandfather.. Yet to prove our relationship
