I have be looking for a marriage for Thomas frith and Elizabeth Sands in 1792... which i found for the 10th April 1792... But my problem is that i also found another marriage in the same parish for a Thomas Frith and a Elizabeth King married on 24 Dec 1792,,, HOW DO I CONFIRM WHICH COUPLE BELONGS TO MY TREE?

In my searching with this parish i also found births of children all listed with parents Thomas and Elizabeth Frith...

Also, if the fathers have different occupations you can separate the families. The baptism in the parish records should have occupation of father. Unfortunately I doubt if you would find the parents on the 1851 census. Or even the 1841. But if you can sort out which children belong to which family then you might find some of the children on the censuses. Some of the sons might have the same occupation as the fathers.
