His children as far as I know are Job (born 1882), James (born 1880), Rose (born 1885) and Sarah (born 1889)

Not mistranscribed as Crookseason, that's what the enumerator wrote down, what he thought he heard. I have found at least 25 variations of the town name MARTOCK in the various census - some in Wales and some as far away as Yorkshire - differing local accents would give a different interpretation.
