PARKINSON (Wimblington/March) 1851/1861 Census

[oleg_mcnoleg]

Looking for some help on

James PARKINSON (b.March c. 1833)

in 1851 he'll hopefully be at home with some other family.

In 1861 he should be married to Sarah (b.Chatteris c. 1833, m 1852)
with, possibly a one month old son Thomas (b. Wimblington, c Feb 1861). Again there may be some older children.
By 1871 they were living in Eastwood End Gate House where Sarah was the Gatekeeper.

Sarah is either REDHEAD or TOOMBS so if either of these occur in the 1851 in Chatteris area i'd be grateful of any info that'll help in eliminating one or the other.

More thanks!!
