The Visitation of Wiltshire 1565 describes Thomas as eldest son and heir of William Walrond of Aldbourne and his wife Elizabeth Kibblewhite. [1]It names his wife as Joan Mundy of Chilton (Foliat) in Wiltshire. The Visitation also names the children of Thomas as:
Thomas
Edward
William
George
Elizabeth, married to Thomas Stampe of Cholsey
Thomas wrote a detailed will dated 16 April 1558.[2] At that time he described himself as "of Cholsey" which was part of Oxfordshire, but was later transferred to Berkshire. He made bequests to and mentioned:
my son Edward and his wife Agnes
my eldest son Thomas, the wardship of the Chase
my son George, land in Southamptonshire
my son William
my daughter Elizabeth
my last wife's three daughters - Margaret, Alice and Elizabeth
The will was probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 29 July 1558.
Research Note
Thomas may have been living with his daughter Elizabeth Stampe in Cholsey, at the time of his death.

If the linked father William (and noted uncle Edward) died in 1614, and the linked son Thomas had a daughter Elizabeth that was born in about 1558, making that Thomas likely born around 1535 or so and this Thomas likely born around 1510 or so, it seems likely that the linked father (and mentioned uncle), and THEIR son/nephew Thomas are of a later generation than this Thomas. (Unless the purported father William lived to be well over 100 years old.)
Seems like this Thomas' son William (b~1540) and his brother Edward (b~1558) are more likely to have died in 1614, for what that may be worth. And, it so happens, that William b1540 has a son named Thomas per his profile...
