Yes Breighton is in the parish of Bubwith.
I think this is the same family, Jemima Duckels is such an unusual name, and it is not far from Swinefleet to parts of Howden parish - there was a ferry in operation from there across the river Ouse. It does look as if they had some connection to Bubwith at least.
Unfortunately, this does not help you find the parents of Sarah.
I therefore suggest you start with the only relative of hers that you have - her brother Thomas. From the 1851 census you will have his occupation. This should allow you to trace him on later census returns. Hopefully, he will still be at home living with some of his younger siblings (Miranda and Richard are not common names so they may be useful) - this may allow you to tie him into the family headed by Jemima on the 1841 census.
Its also worth tracing Sarah and her husband - occasionally other members of the family will be staying with them on census night. I would also trace all the children of John & Jemima - check the burial records at Howden to see if any of the Swinefleet children are buried there. Unfortunately, the parish records I have for Bubwith and Howden are too early for you.
