1841/51 Benjamin BELSHAW in Worsley or Pendleton

[skb]

Is anyone able to find Benjamin BELSHAW in the 1841 or 1851 census?

He was baptised in 1816 at Eccles.

He was the son of John and Sarah BELSHAW "of Worsley" (to distinguish them from John and Sarah BELSHAW "of Swinton")

He had brothers named Joseph and Jephthah and sisters named Alice and Leah.

He married Elizabeth HALLSWORTH in 1846, when he gave his address as Cross Lane Salford, and occupation Weaver.

I have his details from 1861 and 1871, which show him living in Pendleton, with occupation Coal Dealer.

(I have searched the 1851 Pendleton but couldn't find him, so either he is one of the lost records or he was living elsewhere)

Thanks Bill.

I've made  a fair bit of progress since I posted this request, though I've come to the conclusion that the family are on the missing or unreadable pages of the 1851 census.

I also noticed that, sadly, Elizabeth (first wife) died shortly after the birth of baby Peter and that Peter was baptised on the same day and at the same church that his mother was buried.
