Pinchbeck is in Lincolnshire; I've had a look at modern OS maps and can't find the Slyecton (my reading of it has ...eaton rather than ...ecton). All student schoolmasters.

The census record is from Peterborough, the precincts of the Minster.

Hi.

There is a place called Syston nr Pinchbeck.

Maybe that is it.
