Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the 1871 census for a frederick john woodman born 1847 in horrabridge, devon.
I have the 1851, 1861,1881,1891 & 1901, but have had no luck in locating the 1871.
due to him moving around the country rather alot, i am intrigued to find out what i can in the 1871 census. I have a location for him in 1870 as he married in stockton yorkshire, and in 1872 as his first son was born also frederick john woodman in skinninggrove yorkshire.

i do know in
1847 in Horrabridge devon born
1851 2 Roborough Cottage, Buckland Monachorum,
1861 living with the thomas family as a border in Gunnislake, Tavistock : miner
1870 Stockton Durham, Yorkshire - North Riding married an Elizabeth Maunder
1872 43 skinningrove, York (source birth cert of his son)
1881 57 West Road Lofthouse, York, England : newspaper reporter
1891 21 Cromwell terrace, Halifax : Journalist

Phillip, are you able to copy one or two census reports onto here? 1861 and 1881 would help locate him for us.
Jan

Have you managed to find Elizabeth in 1871? Having a bit of trouble with Ancestry!
Jan

They should be together by their marriage.

Marriages Sep 1870
-----------------------------
Lark Elizabeth Stockton 10a 163
Woodman Frederick John Stockton 10a 163

I know it's likely, but not absolute - if we find her this would tell us if we are looking for him on his own.
She was born in Cornwall it seems. Not finding her either mind you!
Jan

Im not finding the Lark children either !
