Is this is the baptism record that you are starting from?

a sibling baptised 1811

what "detail" are you looking for? Just that the title refers to Thomas, yet the query gives John Richard and Sarah

The 1811 baptism of Sarah has the details

Sarah Wigham born 19 January baptised 17 February 1811, 1st daughter of John Wigham pitman native of Gateshead by his wife Sarah Nathan native of Gosforth Hampshire

The details are split over two pages

If you look through those records you may find some more children and some more details

EDIT: If you look up Richard Wigham it says he is the 1st son of John and Sarah although Sarah Nathan is now described as being of Scarborough !!! (I would go with Gosforth as probably being correct as there is a baptism there that matches nicely)

John and Sarah got married in 1807 in Newcastle when her name is recorded as Neaton (there are a couple more children as well as the two already mentioned)
