Can anyone find my Great (x3) Grandparents

Is anyone able to help me find my Great (x3) Grandparents on ANY census at all? I believe they were John and Ann Bendall, and I would assume they were from either Cam or Breadstone in Gloucestershire. John might well have been a butcher by trade. They had three children (that I know of) - William c1828, Thomas c1832 and John c1836).

Many thanks.

can we work back the otherway, from what you know for certain - like the marriage of one of those children- or indeed from your own parents

where and when was that?

Yes, that could very well be Thomas. Thanks.

John and Ann's eldest (i think) son was William Workman Bendall (born c1828 in Cam). He married Sarah Seaborn in Cam on 21/4/1863

Keith - what is John's status in the household please? If we can't locate his parents, then maybe he'd been orphaned.

Andrew the 1841 does not give relationships in the household unfortunately.
