Hmm, there is this family in 1861 - this Benjamin is 42, younger than mine, but his birthplace is right, and then he is 49 in 1871, so maybe he kept knocking years off his age? Jenat could be Jessie except for age and birthplace being wrong.

Evenwood Barony, Durham
Benjamin Wilkinson Head Mar 42 Rail Crew Northampton Blyth (in 1871 his birthplace is Nottinghamshire Blythe)
Elen Do Wife Mar 33 Scotland
Ann Do Daur 12 Do
Jenat Do Daur 8 Durham Berry Edge
Joseph Do Son 4 Do Durham
Elen Do Daur 1 Do Bd Castle.

In 1871 they also have a Benjamin 9 born Durham Cockfield, Violet 6 born Yorks Rosedale, and Frances 3 born Yorks Rosedale.

I suppose they could be in Scotland for the 1851 census.
