Somethings not right here, Abel is down as being unmarried

Abel Beardsmore 41 Son unm Miner
Eli Beardsmore 13 Son Miner
James Beardsmore 10 Son Miner
Pheby Ann Beardsmore 3 Niece

I can't look at the moment I am in the pub, what about 1861.

according to BCC

1861 : Dibdale, Lower Gornal, Sedgley, Staffs
Abel Beardsmore, Head, 31, Stone Miner
Elizabeth Beardsmore, Wife, 28
Eli Beardsmore, Son, 3, Scholar
James Beardsmore, Son, 11 Months
All Born in Sedgley

Perhaps that was a mistake?

Found this...did he remarry?
