I use Find My Past to search all the censuses from 1841 to 1911. In 1841 about fifty percent of the Cockram families in England lived in Devon. Of 704 Cockrams in England in 1841, 376 lived in Devon, 101 of those in the Crediton area. By 1911 there were no Cockrams in Stockleigh Pomeroy, just 26 in Crediton, 419 in Devon and 1633 in England. I don't know what this proves, although I believe that most of the Cockrams in England are probably related to us.
When Sarah and her sisters, brother, and mother left Stockleigh Pomeroy to go to London they left behind a brother (James, living on Down Farm). None of the children returned to Devon. James daughter Faith Charity, named for her aunt, seems to have disappeared and had no siblings.
