I am looking for more information on John Wagstaffe who was a surgeon in Sutton, Macclesfield around 1825-1830.

He had a son in 1838 called Henry but I have been unable to find a birth or baptism record. In the 1841 and the 1851 census he is not living with his parents.

I had thought the John and his wife may have died but he attends Henry's Wedding in 1856 quite a mystery  

I am also looking for a Silkman from Macclesfield Ralph Goodwin born 1775 who married Rebecca and had several children called Emma Henrietta, Ralph Samual, Horatio Robert and Henry Whitehead Collinson who I believe may have been an adopted son.

Last but not least Joseph Bell who married Jane and had a son called Robert Bell in 1827.

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Although I have the relevant Census data for my Ancestors from 1851 through to 1901 - I am still missing a lot of information from the first census that was of use to family historians; namely the 1841 as follows:

1841 Census for Macclesfield
1.   George SWARBROOK, Innkeeper and his wife Mary (possibly at the Rose Inn in Brasshouse Street.).  George should be 34 and Mary should be 35 in 1841. They also have a daughter named Sarah who would be 9 in 1841 - (Both George and Mary died before the 1851 Census.)
2.   Henry SWARBROOK, Publicans Servant on the 1851 Census at the Grove Inn aged 55.
3.   Mary SWARBROOKE should be 27 in 1841 – did not marry till 1845. Her parents Joseph and Hannah did not die until the mid 1850’s. Was married but still living at home in Macclesfield on the 1851 census.
4.   Samuel SWARBROOK should be 14 in 1841 possibly living in Windmill Yard or Square – parents were Samuel and Sarah.
5.   Thomas SWARBROOK should be 10 in 1841, brother to the above Samuel.
6.   Harriett SWARBROOKE should be 17 in 1841. Possibly living at home with her parents Samuel & Sarah as above.
7.   Samuel SWARBROOKE, Silk Worker or Grocer should be 43 in 1841. Married to Sarah in 1822 – Father of the above Harriett, Thomas and Samuel. Possibly in Windmill Square or Yard.
8.   John SWARBROOKE aged 86 at his death in 1843 (should be about 84 in 41) in Northwich
All the above in Red found for me by PeterBennett - Thankyou Peter 9.   Henry SWARBROOKE aged  67 at his death in January 1858 at Union Work House, Prestbury Road, Macclesfield – should be 50 in 41 Census.
