I have found Charles in 1901 census age 74 a widower with his son William 47 and wife Ann and 2 children, but searched for Charles in an earlier census hoping to find him with his wife and children. These are from Cottenham in Cambridge. Would appreciate any help. Thank you

Hi ErikaH.
sorry I don't know how to copy and paste, a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to technical stuff, that's why I have to ask for help.

1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Hempsal, Willingham, Chesterton, Cambridgeshire, England
William Cook Head Married Male 26 1855 Farm labourer Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England
Ann Cook Wife Married Female 25 1856 - Rampton, Cambridgeshire, England

Charles Cook Son Single Male 1 1880 - Cambridgeshire, England
Charles Cook Boarder head Single Male 52 1829 Farm labourer Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Hempsalls, Willingham, Chesterton, Cambridgeshire, England

William Wayman Head - Male 43 1828 Ag lab Willingham, Cambridgeshire, England
Fanny Wayman Wife - Female 43 1828 - Willingham, Cambridgeshire, England

Charles Cook Lodger - Male 42 1829 Ag lab Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England

So this William is a Cook in Hempsall, same surname, same location as ErikaH

Perhaps the age is actually one MONTH

Are we discarding this 1861 from Jink20?? :-S

I suspect it's Anna Maria as it's her first name..............

Edit.....
Anna Maria married a Howell
Sarah Ann Wilkin married a Charles Cook Marriage date 5 Jul 1862

I don't think it's the correct Charles and Ann

OK thank-you, just taking a bit of getting my head round them.

"Jona Waymer" on 1861 (FMP).........is Jonas Wayman..............connected to the family in 1871?

In 1881, Charles is shown as BOARDER............and SINGLE

If Charles didn't marry until 1862 am confused as his son William was born in 1854??
Everything else seems to tie up with the census information!! What have I missed??
