Not knowing much about the UK census and how they are set up...does your great grandparents show up on the census there along with their children?

Does the census there list the place of birth by Country and State or just the country?

Here the census lists by State of birth or Country of Birth. Sometimes you get lucky and it lists the city as well.

That might help narrow the search.

Hi Maggie
It would be a great help if you could provide a bit more information, such as birth year for Thomas and/or Winifred..or even the children.
This would help (possibly) narrow the search on US census and UK bound passenger lists.
