Cambridgeshire Completed Lookups / Re: 1851 Census - Fisher

Thanks very much David.
Looking at the 1841 info it is likely that the younger John is the son of Mary.
It is possible that John lied about his age on his marriage certificate and on the Census's as his wife is 8 years younger than him. Although as is occupation is Policeman I'm sure it wouldn't lie about his age(?).
It would be nice if I could find him on the 1851 census (i've looked at all the John Fishers on Ancestry and the CFHS) or his birth on CFHS/IGI (although looking at the 1851 census it appears that quote a few John Fishers are not on CFHS) but it appears he's just elusive (best bet for birth is probably 1817at Ely Wesleyan Church).
Anyway, thanks once again for your help.
