it's not a doddle finding the Dodd's in 1871!

[Ladyhawk]

 In 1861 they are living in Great Boughton, 10 Foxbrook Street, William is a Shoemaker & local preacher.

William Dodd b Cheshire 1821
Elizabeth Dodd b Hoole 1824
Elizah Dodd - (Elijah) b1857 Cheshire
Kezia Dodd b 1848 Cheshire
Matthew H Dodd b Cheshire 1851
Alexander W Dodd b wolverhampton 1852
John Dodd b wolverhampton 1856

Here are the details from that Wales 1871 census:

New household at same address:
William Dadd 50 boarder 50  Manager bn Chester St John
Elizabeth 47 wife bn Hoole
Matthew 21 baker bn Hoole
William 18 shoemaker bn Wolverhampton
John 15 bn Wolverhampton

I am having difficulties tracking a lot of the family, such as Alexander & Keziah.

I'm wondering if Alexander William Dodd born c1852 Wolverhampton is using his middle name William

possible marriage and death

1881 West Derby, Register Office or Registrar Attended
Alexander W DODD   
Jane CARRUTHERS (perhaps she's related to Alfred John Dodd's wife Hannah Susannah Carruthers)   
FreeBMD shows Alexander's middle name as William

Possible death Alexander

I am not sure where they are in 1881 but by 1885 William has married Martha Ward

25 Jan 1886 St Augustine, Pendlebury, Lancashire

William Dodd - 59 Chemist Widower of Pendlebury
Father: John Dodd, Labourer

Martha Ward - 25 Domestic Servant Spinster of Pendlebury Groom's
Father: Henry Ward, Blacksmith.

& as seen Elizabeth is living with her son Matthew in 1891.

Very confused am i!! 

As i said there may be 2 families i'm mixing up but i actually think William is telling Porkies! I wonder if the clues lie in 1881?

Sorry not having much luck locating William Dodd on 1881 census 

I wondered if he may have been with Martha Dodd nee Ward 1891/1901 census give her born c1861 Leeds

This might be Martha Ward age 20 a housemaid in Yorkshire, Vicarage Village
Head Henry Deck Vicar of Hampsthwaite
1881 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27R-CYHM

Perhaps William is living close by 

[Ladyhawk]

There's this William Dodd age 55 but wrong pob his occupation is Church Clerk And Shoemaker and he's noted as a widow living Black Notley, Essex 

1881 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27D-FPPW

ADDED

just noticed he's on 1871 census so not your William   

[lizdb]

just noticed he's on 1871 census so not your William   

Or is that evidence that there are two William's?  One who is a shoemaker and preacher and marries the Martha in later life, and the other who is a chemical manufacturer and was married to Elizabeth and dies before 1891?

[ShaunJ]

Have we had the marriage?

12 March 1843 at St John's Chester

William Dodd 22 shoemaker, Seaville Street, father John Dodd, labourer
Elizabeth Meacock, 19 ¹/₄ , servant St John's Street, father Thomas Meacock, coachman

witnesses John Cotgreave and Emma Ellis
