 The question is, in the 1841 is the John age 55 with a large and relatively younger family, with  daughter Mary age 25, the same as John in 1851  age 68 with daughter Mary, now 42  and son James,26.  I'm still playing with this one .

Right here's what I think so far , James Coldwell is the James listed in 1841 as an apprentice in the home of Henry and Fanny Coldwell, a master journeyman, not unlike the William Coldwell, another apprentice next door in the home of master journeyman Thomas Holdsworth, and others on that page. This would fit the practice of apprentices living in. Then to the John Coldwell , again looking at the 1841 I think he may well be the John, age 55 living with daughters Mary, Sarah and Fanny and son Benjamin.
 The additional Coldwells  Pam listed, Mary ,Joseph, Catherine and Sussanah are in fact in the next house and listed as parent absent in the actual census.
 So I think I now have John, with sons James,Benjamin, and daughters Mary, Sarah and Fanny. It looks a reasonable propersition to me , what do others think?
