1851 or 1861 census

I have a Samuel COOPER [b c 1847] and a George COOPER [b c 1850]; possibly brothers who turn-up in Canada for the 1871 census.

There is a connection with Wilstead because they are living with a family who emigrated from Wilstead by 1871., but I cannot see them in Wilstead on the 1851 index 

Samuel married a woman called Mary [?] and by 1871 they had a 2 year old son called Stephen who was born in Canada but I cant even find their marriage to begin hunting them down

Thanks John,

George is about the right age...so I will keep that in mind if he is the right George...then his Dad was charged with highway robbery but not convicted [I havent seen the Assizes info but it seems there wasnt enough to convict Henry].

Shame about 'brother' Samuel, if he is a brother...the 1871 from Canada doesnt say

Thank you
