Which is his family in 1851 and 1861 Norwich  (dates amended)

I am confused 

John bn Brighton in 1841 census is a shoemaker

When he marries from his marriage to Mary Poet  (possible poett/ Poate) father george  ( shoe manufacture) 4 sept 1842 southwick sussex

1851 he is in Brighton with his wife & children

1861 his wife is head of house with 2 youngest children and says she is married.
....

Where does this information come from
he was a sailor  his father was John Sutherland a Brewers Clerk

What information does the Norwich death certificate give

Who were the witnesses to the Brighton wedding

hi
as you say he seems to be in Brighton as a shoemaker  on 1841 census

The details about him being a Sailor came from the marriage entry seen in Chichester Archives

 As you say all other records have him as shoe maker

john death cert
paralysis from cerebral apoplexy     which i assume is a stroke    he was a shoe maker

i am a descendant of his 2nd family in Norwich
the children were listed under surname ward
his eldest son Richard born to his Wife Mary and   is in norwich living with Ann (Ward) Sutherland
1861
1861 Census
Heigham
3 Sulivan Street

Ann    sutherland      34      married wife   book (possibly  boot) travellors Wife Norwich
richard      14     Scholar                                                           sussex Brighton
ann           6           scholar                                                           norfolk norwich
catherine 4          scholar                                                    lanc wigan
jane          2                                                                            norfolk norwich
eliza 4 months                                                              norfolk norwich
elizabeth ward 11 wife sister scholar  norfolk norwich


later we see richard had Bad sight ( 1901 census) prehaps this is why he is norfolk  and not brighton

I see that most of the Ward children have a middle name Playford and that Catherines birth gives her mmn as Playford.  Do you have any of the Ward childrens birth certificates that confirm John Sutherland was their father.     

Was  Ann -  Anny Playford age 24 unmarried Shoe binder in 1851 


Norfolk News 24 December 1859 mentions John Sutherland late of King Street, Norwich - out of business and unemployed - previously of Wigan & Manchester more detail in the article

Also mentioned Norfolk Chronicle 24 June 1865 - page 7

Possible obituary - Norwich Mercury 23 March 1867

hi
i am going over research i have had for  over 15 years ( done in Archive libraries )
a lot more is on line now .

i have jane playford ward  birth certificate  no father listed    my gt Grandmother
my mum only  her surname as sutherland


playford seems to come from ann playford ward 1826 ( the person i have as mother to John sutherland Children  ) her father was  john playford ward 1801 born wood dalling norfolk with only a mother elizabeth ward  listed at christenning ( she appears to have 5 children no father with john being the only one with playford as a middle name )

loking at my reasearch now  i have done a lot of guess work from 1861 heigham census

with ward children and  richard born in brighton
i have richard`s birthcertificate 1847
  mother Mary poett  john sutherland father shoemaker

of interest  ann  ( Maria)   matilda  Playford Ward Sutherland  1855
Married a Famous Cricketer Fuler Pilch

newspaper articles fit where children born

i had not fund ann ward  on 1851  so will look at this

Sorry but I can't see anything else at the moment

Freereg has the birthdate as 18th October 1867.
