I don't think so but as you know there are so many Dodmans there!
The marriage for Susanna West says that she was a widow from Hempton and there is nothing to indicate her age. I don't see John and Susanna in the census, do you? Nor have I seen children for them. There is a burial which might be her (or not)

County Norfolk
Place Burnham Westgate
Church St. Mary
RegisterNumber 332
BurialDate 12 Feb 1837
Forename Susan
Relationship wife
Rel1MaleForename John
Rel1FemaleForename
Rel1Surname DODMAN
Surname DODMAN

These are the baptisms for John and Mary's children

01 Apr 1810 DODMAN Elizabeth Norfolk Helhoughton bur 17 Apr 1810
14 Apr 1811 DODMAN William Norfolk Helhoughton
09 May 1813 DODMAN Elizabeth Norfolk Helhoughton
11 Feb 1816 DODMAN Robert Norfolk Helhoughton
26 Jul 1818 DODMAN Ann Norfolk Helhoughton
13 May 1821 DODMAN Alice Norfolk Helhoughton

after that the family was removed to Dunton (see Linell's post and I think this is them
(added: I know it doesn't fit well so some reservations about it)

1841 Dunton cum Doughton
John Dodman 45 ag lab
Mary Dodman 45
John Dodman 14
Robert Dodman 15
Charlotte Dodman 20
William Dodman 1
(Robert Dodman aged 24 married Charlotte Padget aged 20 1 Nov 1839 at Dunton cum Doughton)

1851 Dunton cum Doughton
John Dodman 69 ag lab East Rudham, Norfolk
Mary Dodman 66
John Dodman 24
Elizabeth Dodman 22

John Snr's age varies a bit. I don't know who John jnr is. And Robert's age is wrong in 1841 I think.

All very tricky. I don't think working forwards is a good way to do any tree. I suggest that you start with the 1851 census and collect family groups which you can identify in 1841 and then tie to the church records on Freereg. With so many people in such a small area (and fairly mobile too it seems) then you can only sort it out if you take in the whole group :shock:
