You asked about this family unit at 20 minutes past, had a reply at 26 minutes past, yet post again , apparently not having bothered to look at the replies.

Please read replies, follow suggestions and do not double/repeat post.

Thanks Pauline - perhaps the two posts need to be merged to prevent repetition?

Apologies - I didn't mean to post the same request twice.  I am new to this site and am not sure how I managed to post twice. 
Please accept my apologies and thank you for the christening information

I'm having problems finding them on any census!

Odd as this is the youngest's birth, so they should still be in Leighton Buzzard in 1851 and 1861

1851 61 on other post.

can't see a good 1871. I m not convinced  those births are all the same family unit.

1871 Joseph?  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VFF4-H69

Mother's maiden name can be checked using the GRO site - John, William, James and Charles all have mother Chandler. I haven't checked the rest.

All the children have mother's maiden name Chandler. Ann born 1849 was registered as Jane. There also seems to be another child Will born December quarter 1863.
