Marg, Having looked at the 1861 census, it looks to me that John is 50 not 30. [John Stead death reg Wakefield Mar Q 1869 aged 58] John is on 1841 census, Wakefield aged 30, bookkeeper with Jane aged 30 and Joe Waterworth (8) and Thos Waterworth (5). Could these be children from Jane's previous marriage?

Lin, I had another look at the 1861 census and I believe you are right that John is 50. That makes a big difference. I also found the marriage of John and Jane Waterworth in 1835. This gives me more to search as I have come across another possible marriage for John in 1851 to Mary Ann Phillips. John's father was Thomas, a tailor, so it's worth following. Thank you Lin. I appreciate you time.
