I also have two census' done by the family' church. The Rev J H Thompson did census' in 1857 and 1863 on his Parishioners.
Here is the 1857: The family is in Netherend.
Thomas Bishop the father is a Labourer
James aged 15 in November is a Chain Worker
Thomas is aged 12 in January is a Chain Worker
Elizabeth aged 9 in April
Sarah aged 7 in March
Ellen aged 4 in May
Philip aged 3 in November
Elizabeth the wife is not mentioned, but she is still alive. The family are Unitarians, their Church is Park Lane Presbyterian Chapel.
Here is the 1863: The info is still pretty much the same, except everyone is older and James' occupation is a Mason and Elizabeth the daughter works at home. Elizabeth the wife is still alive, I believe, though she died soon afterwards.
