Thanks for the info, but its not the right James. Mine would have a wife Mary age about 59. May well be spelt with only 1b

Thanks, thats brilliant. You've also given me another bit of work to do now on the first Habberfield's you found. I think I found their death registrations, but their are not in my list of habberfields in the 1881 Census. As always more questions than answers
