Just trying to fill in a few gaps in my tree

Could do with some help with this one please

My great great grandfather Thomas Henry COOKE was born in Wolverhampton around 1838.
Here he is in 1851 listed as Thomas along with parents and siblings living in Pipers Row

In 1851
52, Pipers Row,Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England
William COOK (b.1805)locksmith,
wife Elizabeth(b.1807)
..sons William(b.1833)& Thomas (b.1838) apprentices to filecutter
...Elizabeth(b.1838)house servant..
..Charles(b.1841)tailor.
.Joseph(b.1841),
..Sarah(b.1844),
.. George(b.1848),
.. Jane(b.1849).. all born Wolverhampton

I have his marriage certificate from Dec. 1864..here his name is down as Henry Thomas COOKE rather than Thomas Henry.
St Jame's Church, Wolverhampton, Staffs.
Henry Thomas COOKE (full age) widower..file cutter..resident Albion Street..father William COOKE (locksmith) married Martha BASSETT(full age) spinster...resident Cornhill..father William BASSETT (basketmaker)...witnesses Charles COOKE and Caroline BRETTLE

I have been unable to locate him in 1861
.... or identify who his first wife was.

His family are still living in Pipers Row... but he isn't living there... in 1861
Pipers Row, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England
William COOK (57) staplemaker(?),
wife Elizabeth(55),
children.. Charles(27)unmarried tailer,
Joseph(21)unmarried puddler,
George(13)brass ??,
Harriet (8)..all born Wolverhampton,
..William ROBERTS(55)lodger..unmarried bricklayer born Manchester

Can anyone find him on the 1861 census?
and can anyone see who his first wife might have been?

Many Thanks

Thanks for that Jimmy.
Wonder if this is them in Wales in 1861?

Cambrian Terrace, Crickhowell
Henry T COOK (23) file cutter born Wolverhampton
wife Emma COOK (20) born City York, Yorks.
son Thomas S COOK (3mths) born Wednesfield, Staffs.

I suspect there is a sad story here..there is no son Thomas on 1871 census when Henry Thomas (or Thomas Henry) is living with new wife and daughters
36, Cecil St. Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Thomas COOKE(33) file cutter born Wolverhampton,
wife Martha (27) born Wolverhampton,
daughters Sarah J (3) and Mary A (1) both born Birmingham

Need to find death record for first wife Emma and infant son.

Thanks again

Seems to fit.

Thomas Stringer 55. Gardener. Barton, Staffordshire. clearly 35 on image.
Elizabeth Stringer 32. Yorkshire.
Emma Stringer 11. Yorkshire.
Ann Stringer 7. Yorkshire.

Bushbury is Wolverhampton.
