On the 1851 census notebook for Kimberley (Kimberley Knowle, Kimberley) (ref HO 107/2125) the following household appears :

Thomas Sisson (head) - 30 years, coal miner, born Strelley, Notts
Rachel Sisson (wife) - 27 years, domestic work, born Yorkshire
William Sisson (son) - 6 years, scholar, born Greasley, Notts
