Thanks Gardener,
I have all Matthew Parsons Census details but not those and I have brother Mark Homer Parsons Census details

But that Himsworth Census detail has sister Selina Parsons
She went on to marry a Michael Heslop in Holy Trinity Stockton on 28/8/1871

Reference two 1861 Census records for Daniel Parsons I have seen double records before but not in same area

[gardener]

I was following a train of thought which slipped away

Do you have the 1851 census?

[mumbles]

No I cannot find 1851 Census

Found this :-

1861 Census Vicar Street Boiler Makers Arms Dudley Worcs.
Caroline Homer wife (m) 26 Publicans Wife
Benjamin T. Homer 4mths.
Mark H. Parsons nephew 5 born Tipton Staffs.
Rest born Dudley Worcs.

Marriage St. Giles RR 22/5/1854
Caroline Turner 22 father Benjamin Turner
Thomas Homer 22 father Owenden Homer

Daniel Parsons ist wife was Ann Turner

Also found Rosannah Parsons born Dudley Worcs. married Thomas Meredith born 1847 Much Wenlock
Marriage 1/2/1872 Much Wenlock
Rosannah Parsons 20 father Daniel Parsons
Thomas Meredith 23 father Thomas Meredith

They then also moved to Stockton on Tees

1911 Census 8 Cottage Row Stockton on Tees Durham
Michael Heslop Head 64 (wid) Wharf Labourer born Stockton Durham
3 children, 0 living
Rosanna Merdedith sister in law 59 (wid) born Dudley Worcs.
12 children,4 living

Michael Heslop married sister of Rosannan i.e. Selina Sarah Parsons

[gardener]

OK. So from FreeReg, all at St Thomas Dudley

Caroline Parsons born 28.4.1847 bapt 22.8.1847, parents Ann and Daniel (Dudley, furnaceman)
Matthew Parsons born 23.1.1849 bapt 5.8.1849, parents Ann and Daniel (Dudley port, furnace man)
Mark Homer Parsons born 27.11.1855 bapt 30.8.1857, parents Ann and Daniel (Vicar Street, stock taker)

that fits with

1861 Census 37 Oxford Street Bilston Wolverhampton Staffs.
Daniel Parsons Head 34 (m) Innkeeper born Netherton Worcs.
Matthew Parsons son 12 Scholar born Hales Hill Worcs.
Mary Bennitt servant 27 Housekeeper

1861 Census Codsall Wood Tettenhall Wolverhampton Staffs.
Daniel Parsons Head 36 Innkeeper born Netherton Worcs.
Jane H. Parsons wife 37 Governess born Much Wenlock Shrops.
Caroline Parsons dau 13 Scholar
Selina Parsons dau 9 Scholar
Rosanna Parsons dau 6 Scholar
Elizabeth Parsons dau 10 Scholar born Pensnett Worcs. [it doesn't say dau for Elizabeth, just "scholar"]
Plus 6 infants aged 3 to 6 with different surnames

and
1861 Census Vicar Street Boiler Makers Arms Dudley Worcs.
Caroline Homer wife (m) 26 Publicans Wife
Benjamin T. Homer 4mths.
Mark H. Parsons nephew 5 born Tipton Staffs.
Rest born Dudley Worcs.

So Caroline and Mark should be on the 1851, and their mother Ann and father Daniel. Even if they are not together. How annoying is this?

[mumbles]

I have added a lot to bcc with notes
The children on both 1861 Census Records obviously are related as they tie up on later Census records
so where are they in 1851 ?
The only reasons can think of for Daniel being on two records is:-
a) He had a business address as well as a family address
b) Jane H. German Governess appears to have a lot of children before and after marriage as Pupils/Scholars
perhaps they were orphans ?
