I understand about the 1871, just trying to see if we could fathom out any clues from it  (also realised about the 1811  )
He's elusive, isn't he.

here's what I have.
Thomas Maddocks b 1860 Stockport, son of William Maddocks b 1827 and Ann b 1827.
1861 census in Cheadle
1871 census in Cheadle
1883 m Sarah Ann Leah
children: Harold b 1887, Eveline b 1891, Olive b 1893, Winifred b 1895 and Mary b 1900.
1891 census in Gorton Manchester
1901 census " "
Sarah died 1902 in withington Workhouse ( i think), am getting the feeling that he wasn't the nicest of people, because it seems after Sarah died, all the children were dispersed all over the country. Have found Harold, Eveline and Winifred on the 1911 census but, cant find the other 2 ? 
I guess I'm just nosy and like family skeletons.

I don't think you should be too harsh on him
Life was a lot different then, and very difficult even with two parents. He had a young family, and had to work to get an income. And the hours were long, six day a week. Family work was hard work too. cooking anything took hours over the fire, as heating water for drinks, washing self, clothes etc which could take days, (not to mention the drying and the grating of the soap) and shopping for the food to cook wasn't quick and easy. Then there was finding or sewing clothes for the kids. For a woman to be widowed meant she lost an income, such work as there was was very low paid. It's no wonder they tried to get married again as quickly as possible.
It's very interesting looking at the social side. Sorry to go on.
