1841, 1851 Census Lookup - Simkins

[Scott Thompson]

Could someone please  check the above census for Charles Simkins, a carpenter born about 1832 in Cambridgeshire? In 1861 he was living in the East End of London with his wife Mary. Their eldest child was Charles W who himself became a carpenter. By 1871 they had added several other children to the family line-up and even more by 1881. I believe Mary's surname was Bunten and she married Charles Senior in London in 1852. Charles Senior may have died about 1887. I would like to know, if possible the whereabouts of Mary in 1841, 1851, 1891, and 1901. One last thing, I would like to know if her son Charles W Simkins appears in the 1891 and 1901 Census. I have a theory that, although his wife remarried in about 1890 she was not a widow(cue the dramatic music).
I would appreciate any help!

Hi Scott

The 1861 shows Charles' birthplace as being Stetchworth, so given the father's occupation on this entry, this could well be your family :-
