Not quite with you
What you have just posted is the 1881 census details, that I had given before - same person, same family, same household.
The 1861 one you have found looks very much like the same family - Hannah and Anna are often mixed.
by the way - it looks as if you have "cut and pasted" the census details from the index of another site - this actually breaches copyright. Although the information itself is not copyrighted, the sites themselves are - hence you should not pass on the info in a cut and paste form, but type it up in your own words, so to speak. (the ones I typed up for you were as I read the image, not just the index)

Jas is a recognised abbreviation for James
Hannah and Anna are frequently interchanged
Are there two JAmes Stockleys iwith the same families in Little Bloxwith ever on the SAME census at the same time? That would prove there are two families with Willams.
I havent looked closley but on the censuses I have looked at there are only one,so I am pretty sure there is just the one family.

Well done Liz,with finding Amelia's family,but it didn't get us any nearer finding Robert did it 
Sonstar PM'd me yesterday about him ,but like you I had no luck finding him.
I was surprised that someone who was Jesse's brother ie born around 1860 ish would have married someone called Brenda.There are less than 20 in the whole country up till about 1900.
More popular a surname in Scotland I believe.
I also suggested that Sonstar buy that 1907 marriage cert to confirm that we are indeed chasing the right Bentley family.
Let us know when you have it Sonia, and Liz and I will start looking for them again

Hi Carol!!
Didnt know you were working on this one too.
I too wondered about the name Brenda, I wonder if it WAS Robert (bro of Jesse) who married the Brenda, rather than someone in the next generation (as indeed the original post on this thread said) - you know as well as I how often famly stories get attached to the wrong person!
We will see. If Sonstar gets Jesse's marriage cert in 1907 it will give us a fathers name and occupation (hopefully!) and we can go from there.
I wonder if there were any more children of the Jesse/Amelia marriage? Married 1907, children 1912, 1914 and 1923. I just wondered if the elusive Robert could actually be of this generation and born 1907-1912.
But that would make him a brother of Sonstars grandad, who is still laive, so he should know!

Can Mabel Jones remember how old Robert and Brenda were when she visited them? If Robert was a sibling of Jesse they would be quite elderly by then. Jesse himself (if still alive) would be celebrating his golden wedding in 1957....
