Coxhead's from Wiltshire, England

Hello Annette,
I am writing from Louisville, KY.Like you I am completely new at this.So new that I just got started when the PRO website came back up.I am beginning to research my fathers side of the family.I am not familiar with the county/region/city designations of the PRO other than that "Wilts" is the abbreviation for Wiltshire County.My grandfather was a George Coxhead born in 1886 in Wilts Aldbourne.He had an older sister Ellen reported to be crippled from her birth in 1883.George immigrated to the US in 1920 with his wife Elizabeth (surname) Hughes born in 1887 in Lancshire Liverpool.George's father's name was Thomas born about 1852 in Wilts Aldbourne. His mothers name was Hannah (surname possibly Manlove), born about 1852 in Wilts Lambourne.Hannah remarried after Thomas's death to a surname Topping.
Thomas Coxhead (George's father) was a farm worker in Chiseldon at the time of the 1901 census.Would appreciate any leads you may have run across on Thomas Coxhead's parents or earlier relatives.
Thanks.
