Heywood knew from the censuses that Caroline Ferguson was born c. 1829 Portsmouth.
So - she entered Caroline Ferguson b. 1829, Hampshire, Portsmouth in the 1851.
The nearest match is transcribed Farguson, but looking on the actual image it is clearly Ferguson 
(at least, that's what I would have done, and it works - so I assume that's how Heywood did it  )

Hello everyone,
Glad to know that you've all been here whilst I have been working (my one day a week!).
Now Dave,
I thought you had access to the censuses. Look at the 1901 which you have referred to and you will see that Caroline Ferguson is above your family.
Then as Mum said, and I think I already said, when we are doing these searches you start with the given information and see where it gets you. So, going off Caroline snr's birth details, I went through the censuses. Sometimes, we have to be a bit creative in interpreting spellings etc. but very often it is quite apparent that the same person can be traced.
That is how I arrived at my conclusions but that is not to say that they are correct. 
As Deryck has also said, it is really important that you read and take on the information that people send you. Sometimes, it is better to write it down (I quite like diagrams to connect people) but each to their own way of understanding information.
If you have full access to the censuses, it would be a really good exercise to track someone through.
Sometimes, though, because of errors etc, it is necessary to search by a selection of the criteria e.g. first name, second name, birth year, place of birth etc because entering the whole information may result in nothing.
Hope you are understanding this a bit better- we all love to help but you do need to read what is already provided and then, by all means, ask the questions. 
Thanks Mum and Deryck for the support... as usual

So many Williams in 1881 census. Is the only way to trace him to this year through his birth certificate?

Hi all just a broken leg and lots of cuts and bruises :-)
going to order the marriage certificate tonight.
In the mean time while that's on hold:
Thomas Robinson as discussed b.1855 married a Mary e gough b.1855 in 1883 8d p333
The 1901 census has the married couple with 5 children living in ardwick chorlton.
The 1891 census has the married couple with 6 children in Manchester. Two of the children are 13 as previously mentioned so Thomas must have been married before. So must Mary I.e. Mary E Gough as her step son John is at the address aged 9.
I have located Mary E Gough In 1881 married to a JamesGough with a John Henry but the dob's don't match. I have got a Thomas married to a Jane with a Mary E aged 1 but no Thomas, so they aren't twins and he may have been born later in the year.
Your thoughts on the previous wife of William and husban of Mary E Gough?

Thanks to everyone for the assistance.
I've traced Mary E Whyatt later Mary Gough/then Robinson's parents with a lot of support from this community:
Her father is a William Whyatt (1818-) and mother Deborah Wild (1820-) Manchester, Lancashire, England
They had three children
William (1843-)
James (1845-)
Mary E (1853-)
Mary Ann (1854)
Any idea why they would have been married in Manchester, Jamaica in 1840?
Davidjnr
At a loss now for her parents and his, I'll just have to keep digging with your help!

Thomas Robinson (born 1855) Manchester, Lancashire, England and Mary's 2nd husband after John Gough died in December quarter 1881 aged 30 is proving a lot more allusive.
Help!

I have located a Joseph T. Robinson aged 26 and a Book Keeper in the 1891 Census (2 years before his marriage to Mary Gough), could this be the one and the same Thomas?
His father is also a Thomas and his mother Sarah.
Thomas Robinson the father is 58
Sarah Robinson mother is 60
Joseph T. Robinson is 26 so matches our Thomas?
He has a brother Thomas W. Robinson aged 9 and John W. Robinson aged 7 also.
What do you think?
