Thank you Gins, would you mind having a look on the 41 census for him and for both of them on the 61, there's a big difference in their ages, maybe a mistake by the census taker?

thanks a lot

Thank you safc for the added info for Joseph Hawkin, There's either a mistake or it isn't his wife, think it could possibly be his son's wife who isn't listed? which is very interesting.

Many thanks
