Hi Angie

On 1851 census Benjamin was an Agricultural labourer but on 1861 census he was living at Back Street, Tanshelf, Pontefract, and is described as being a Hay dealer. His wife is now called Mary although all the children on 1841 census except for Benjamin and George are still living with them. They also have another child called Kate who is 9 years old.
