Hi Malcolm
There is nothing on the Gloucestershire burial index for them (but I am coming to believe it is not complete!)
Have you found them on all censuses? It would be a good idea to post individually for any that are missing - including posting in Worcestershire for Eckington. Same with requests for Parish Records or BVRI look ups.
I'm not brilliant with the IGI, but othere members work miracles finding people in there.
Let us know what you need and I'm sure we would love to help.
kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Sorry forgot to say, the 1851 for Gloucestershire is here:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cotswold/GLSontheweb.htm
They don't appear to be on it.
In 1861 they are in Worcs - Acton Beauchamp - and Mary's birthplace is given as Stanton, Worcs (it is on the border).
Hope this helps,
Arranroots ;)

Eckington is the parish immediately adjoining Bredon's Norton to the North - in Pershore Registration District
I can find several of the children listed in the Bredon's Norton parish register in later censuses. I haven't as yet been able to find the 1871 census household of William, Mary and Thomas to confirm if the 1851 and 1881 census households you have found so far refer to the same family.
Starting with John Wood, born 09 April 1843:
1891 census

*Note: Ellen's place of birth is listed in the index as Soulgrave, but the closest I can
find to this in the form of a place that actually exists in Derbyshire is Youlgreave
1901 census Charles Wood (born 14 Apr 1849)

In 1871 James Wood, who was born on Easter Day 1852 was a farm servant
in the household of Walter Gaskins in Bishops Cleeve, Gloucestershire.

Age in 1871: 19
Where born: Bredons Norton, Warwickshire,* England
Dwelling: Farm House

*Warwickshire is a transcription error in the index (another one!!)
It's clearly Worcestershire on the original image!
Following is a possibility for the 1891 household of Walter Wood born 27 Jul 1857, although his age is out by a year or two.

Eckington is the parish immediately adjoining Bredon's Norton to the North - in Pershore Registration District.
