Olivers of Flash or Alstonefield, Staffs

I'm interested in Lomas families of the North Staffordshire Moors, East Cheshire and North West Derbyshire, England.
This interest has led me to the Oliver family at Brandside (Hartington Upper Quarter Derbyshire but close Flash) in the 1841 census:
James OLIVER, schoolmaster aged 80 years born Derbyshire
Thomas OLIVER, collier aged 65 years born Derbyshire
Jane OLIVER aged 60 years not born Derbyshire and
George JACKSON aged 8 years not born Derbyshire
The above Thomas and Jane are buried at Quarnford (Thomas died 1869 aged 80 years, Jane in 1844 aged 67 years)
From census returns and other monumental inscriptions at Macclesfield Municipal Cemetery, James OLIVER must have married Jane LOMAS. The above child George JACKSON being the son of Edward JACKSON and wife Mary Ann LOMAS (in 1841 coal mining at Windlehurst, Marple, Cheshire), Mary Ann almost certainly being a first cousin of the above Jane.
I haven't found a marriage for Thomas OLIVER and Jane LOMAS. If anybody can help with thismarriage or any additional detail of the above family, I would be very grateful.
I read that a Joseph OLIVER was a methodist preacher of Longnor, near Flash. Can you tell me that the above Joseph was not him...
