Could anyone look up the 1861 Census for Stephen Little?
He was born in Ironbridge, Salop c1835, married to Ann Skidmore in 1855 in Oldbury; she was born Shoreditch c1827. They had a son, Theophelis, who was born c1856, again in Oldbury. On their Marriage Cert, Stephen is shown as a Private, Staffordshire Militia and his father, Benjamin, a Polisher.
I have tried the Oldbury 1861 Census without any luck - hoping some kind person out there may have more good fortune!
Many thanks for any info or clues
Regards Pete

Many thanks for this, Sue.

I am now completely confused - this is without doubt the right family, except that Stephen seems to have changed his name to Benjamin! All the other details are correct - I presume "Toin Bridge" could actually be Iron Bridge?

Again, many thanks, Pete
