Just say this on a google alert. The following somehow fits it to my family's recollections :
Transcribed and looks like Rowlandson
1871. Featherstone, Yorkshire
Joseph Rowlandson, head, 42, Coal Miner
Martha, wife, 39,
Benjamin, son, 17,
Obediah Thomas, son, 14,
Joseph, son, 12,
Moses, son, 3
All born Worcestershire
Moses pitched up in Counden, Co.Durham for a few years and that is where my Great Grandfather Andrew Rollason/Rowlandson was born. I've never been particularly interested until today and will spend some time researching this in 2012. Some of Obediah's family emigrated to the Pennsylvannia coal fields.

? May be add a note why connected?
The other martha you found as a Pupil looks to be on 1841 in Leeds still so I dont think thats her but I couldnt find a Martha in 1851 either.
I wonder if Isaac, a witness, has anything to do with Martha? Just incase he is a brother?

Thanks for having a look Jo, this is a tricky one isn't it?
Looking at what we have ...
Martha - age and place of birth
Isaac (witness) - the only one I can find would have been abt 10
I could, as you say add a note but I'm not comfortable with it at the moment

The census and her marriage show around 1832
