Hi, Sue I take it that this family was in Wolstanton in 1881, father Henry, wife Ann. The census gives Frederick's place of birth as Tunstall. The Davenports of Burslem, married into the Wedgwood & Wood families, and were very wealthy, with 3 factories in Longport. They came from Leek originally. Earl Davies has recommended a book on Leek, called 'The Ancient Parish of Leek', which gives a lot of information on the Davenports.
